Windows 7 HOME Premium ISO needed
-
Trying to help a friend - I can't seem to fine, or maybe I didn't have one. But looking for a MS 7 HOME Premium Disk for ISO.
-
I have a DELL "Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit" DVD I can make into a ISO for you if that would help you.
-
That would great.
-
I stumbled across this. Still haven't checked any of them.
Compare the SHA1 against here. Maybe you'll get lucky.

No but I already have one IIRC so I don't really care.

Try it before you give it all of your upvotes.

This is part of the understanding of how Microsoft has changed things. The on demand upgrades since Vista means that every version of Windows has code for every version. Features are just turned on as you do things. The only difference is Enterprise, be it 7 or 8.1 or 10, which is very specific. Odds are if you need an Enterprise version of Windows, you already have the image. Same goes for Server, where one can change from Standard to Enterprise to Datacenter without having to reinstall.
A positive side effect of this is that now ANY media will work with ANY license. My VL downloaded media will install OEM versions. An OEM version will work with retail media.

I have a Windows 7 "All Versions" ISO that I use when needed.
When the ISO boots, it asks which version you want installed. Listing all but the Enterprise options.

This is actually not true.
I upgraded a Win7 machine to 10 through MS's normal upgrade process (on the internet). At the end it was activated.
Later I installed VL media based Windows 10 1511 on that same comptuer. This version would NOT activate with MS's activation servers, I was required to activate it using KMS.

Yep there's only one file in the Install you need to change to allow the base install to be Pro, Home etc. all the stuff is already there.

If you have a volume seat you don't even need to do that. You just need to fill out a Windows 10 Pro Upgrade Form from Microsoft.

If Customer (i) has an active
- Enterprise Enrollment,
- Enterprise Subscription Enrollment,
- Campus and School Agreement,
- Enrollment for Education Solutions,
- Select Agreement,
- Select Plus Agreement, or
- Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (each, a “volume license agreement”),
and (ii) has a free upgrade right to Windows 10 Pro in accordance with the specifications and availability dates established at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/Windows-10-specifications (the “Upgrade Site”),
Well I don't have any of those - so that doesn't help me. I have an Open Value agreement.
Also - Even if I did have one of those, what about the individual hardware when it's retired? Assuming upgrading to Win10 is no longer free, and assuming the hardware still functions, how would the new owner legally get Windows 10 on that machine?

Why does that matter? It's not worth the extra effort when upgrading to make sure someone else can use a computer that is not going to be very usable when retired anyway.

Bit out of touch with the SMB? All of my smaller SMB clients let the hardware go out to users after a quick wipe/reinstall. I personally agree with you, but the users do not see it that way.

I guess so. I've never worked anywhere that did that. Here as a public traded company we can't give away stuff to employee anyway. We usually donate stuff to 501(c)3's for tax credits.
