Well I have a laptop that didn't come with a Windows 7 disk.

The PC Manufacturer will send you a disk usually for free or at a low cost

I needed to replace my disk once, Dell charged $25 but that was for the latest XP version (not original XP) and all the driver disks my System would need

Ask some one with technet/msdn subscription to fetch you a list of sha1/crc32 for the various official images, then use those to verify an aquired image (which are by no means hard to find). You've already paid for the license, why pay any more for something you already own?

Microsoft has never done this. Not with XP, not with Vista, and not with 7. If you have a laptop with 7, I'm guessing it has a recovery partition with 7 on it.

If your laptop is brand new and didn't come with discs, there will be a utility on there to create your own disk.

If for some reason you are unable to do this, you should contact the manufacturers support team.

oh for pete sake guys give the man a break

[...]

this is not warez its links to official downloads. Note you need the appropriate license and as the OP states he has a valid license then theres not a problem. It could be the OP has a license but doesnt have the discs for whatever reason, these download links will allow you to download the correct .iso

Yes, they are. These are internal links for paying customers. They are not intended for the general public. You can find direct links to all Microsoft software, but that does not make it a free for all.

In fact, the site you are linking to is a major warez site.

Having a product license does in fact not give you any rights to obtain the media. These are separate things. If 7 came with his machine, he should just use the recovery partition on it, or request recovery media from his OEM.

Digital Life is not a major ware site. Now if it was something like f.o.s.i. then yeah.

MDL is a big Windows cracking site. Most of the developers of various bootloaders comes from users of this forum.

BIOS modding, RemoveWAT, and OEM-SLP is a big part of MDL.

look if the OP has a valid windows license but just needs the media whats the big friggin deal ? i didnt link to the forums i didnt even mention the forums i just linked to an article i came across as my windows 7 disc broke.

Nothing, except that it is against the forum rules. Also, it's not just the forums that are about piracy, much of the rest of the site is as well.

It's no some great moral sin.

If the license is from a laptop you cant get the disk through microsoft.

You have to get the disk through your laptops manufacturer. The key off your laptop will only work with a disc from the manufacturer of your laptop.

A technet copy wont work either since technet gives out retail keys and discs.

That is not a retail version of Windows 7, it's a special evaluation build that only accepts special evaluation keys for the Enterprise edition that last 90 days.

I believe the key that comes with the machine actually will work with any media. The pre-installed version of Windows doesn't use this key at all, it uses generic (OEM-specific) keys together with an offline activation system that is tied to the BIOS. Of course, I could be wrong about the first part.

The keys manufacturers use for their equipment will not work on a retail copy. I know because if you sysprep a laptop straight from factory you will have to type in the oem supplied key and a retail key wont work.

Alright here are the fast retail download links from microsoft

Can you post the Microsoft site where these are posted? I'm assuming you can, because they can't possibly be internal links that paying customers get after completing their purchase that someone figured out the URL to and posted on the web.

If the forum is going to accept that, there's no reason why they shouldn't also allow random links to all kinds of commercial software.

Also, links have already been posted so presumably he's already been able to download it from somewhere.

Yeah I don't know of the microsoft website that has them, just that enterprise link and the other tech news webpage, well with that enterprise iso you can download it and just delete the ei.cfg file located in the sources directory to enable the hidden menu that will let you install any edition of windows 7.

Big deal. If this person was looking for Warez and had a crack, he wouldn't be asking here for the ISO from Microsoft, he would get it from wherever he got his crack. This person has a license, why should he pay for shipping and handling on physical media when he can just download the ISO and burn it to a 50 cent DVD?

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
