Well, I tried accessing the First part of the web address: download – software.Microsoft.com
And was able to get to that website. However, the rest of your address is incomplete here and I suspect that is what is causing the problem. It trails off with 8F…
What is the complete address?

I have a better idea...

 

Generate the download file yourself.  You don't even need a link...other than to download the program that generates the files...

 

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 Premium/Pro (as applicable) SP1 or the (Retail version, but the OEM key on your PC's case will work with it)

 

Win 7 Home Premium/Pro (as applicable) SP1 COEM (This version would be for what HP would have used--System Builder)

 

N is for European countries.

 

K is for South Korean markets.

Sigh

Well, Paul, thanks for your patience.

You would think for a problem like this that is so so common, there were be a very simple – – one click – – way to fix it.

Just so you will know, Trying to do it, I had to make a trip to the library, spent about a half hour looking at all the different choices and verbiage – – Only to come home with a disk that did not do the job.

Thanks again for your help.
