Pavilion dv7 notebook
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello

I have been searching all for a phone number to contact HP support to find out where I can either be sent or download a replacement Windows 7 premium oa 64bit iso file or disk.  I am repairing a clients laptop (HP Pavilion dv7-4077cl Entertainment Notebook PC).  The hard drive is bad and the System restore via the F11 key failed after 99% complete.

 

The client has the windows & product code on the laptop, we just need the Windows 7 premium 64bit  iso and or disk to install the OS on a new hard disk.

 

If someone can advise it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Garrick

Hi:

 

HP does not offer operating system files for download, nor do they sell recovery media for that model anymore.

 

This third party website still has them for sale.

This site claims to have genuine, unadulterated W7 ISO files for download...
 
https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-iso-download-tool
 
Click on the link labeled Windows ISO Downloader.exe
 
You can use either the:
 
 Win 7 Home SP1 or the (Retail version, but the  OEM key on your PC's case will work with it)
 
 Win 7 Home SP1 COEM (This version would be for what HP would have used--System Builder)
 
N is for European Union (EU) countries.
 
K is for South Korean markets.
 
Then you can use this tool to transfer the file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or a DVD.

Then go to your notebook's support page to install the drivers and available software for it.
