Microsoft has launched a website that allows users to download Windows 7 DVD .ISO files. The Microsoft Software Recovery website lets customers create Windows 7 installation DVD, create a backup Windows 7 DVD or a bootable USB drive.
If you are a Windows 7 user and wants to carry out any of these tasks, then you will need to ensure that you have a reliable Internet connection, as well as sufficient available disk space of around 3.5 GB on your Windows computer, USB Drive or any external storage drive.

Some time back, Microsoft offered the Windows Installation Media Creation Tool that allowed Windows 8.1 users create installation media. Now, Microsoft has offered a similar service to Windows 7 users.
Feb 24, 2019 Microsoft Windows ISO Download Tool lets you download all versions of Microsoft 7, 8.1 and 10 as well as Office 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 directly.
Create Windows 7 installation media
To get started, you will have to visit Microsoft and verify your product key.
This site allows you to recover and install Microsoft Windows software purchased through a retailer only.
Enter your product key, select the language from the drop-down menu and click on the Next – Verify Product Key button.
Once you have done this, your key will be verified and you will be able to download an ISO file.
You can use the downloaded ISO disc image to create a bootable DVD or USB, using any ISO burning software like for instance, the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
If you are currently using a mobile device and are therefor not ready to download it, you will be sent an email link to download Windows 7 once you have verified your product key. This link will remain alive and valid for 24 hours, during which time, you can download the ISO file.
I am sure that Windows 7 users will find this very useful!

This isn't piracy, of course—you still need a valid Windows license to download the ISO and register Windows. If you purchased a retail version of Windows, enter the product key from the package. If you can't find it, use a program like Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder. Once Microsoft confirms your product key, you can download Windows and use the Windows 7 USB Download Tool to put it on a thumb drive.
If your computer came with Windows, however, it's probably an OEM version, which will not work on Microsoft's new site. Instead, if you want to reinstall Windows without the bloatware, you'll probably need to borrow a disc from someone and use your product key when you resinstall.
