I’ve lost my Windows 7 installation disk, but I possess the product key. What should I do if I want to reinstall Windows on my computer? Can I download Windows somewhere?

First: take a full system-image backup

Mar 13, 2016 - How to download a Windows 10 ISO file legally, and install Windows 10. Rip a CD you already had, or head to your friendly local torrent site. Downloading the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft on Mac, Linux, and Windows Vista/XP computers. Simply right-click the ISO file, then click Burn disc image. Windows 10 boot disk, windows 8 boot disk, windows 7 boot disk, windows xp boot disk, windows 98 boot disks, windows me boot disks, msdos disks. CD-Rom support you should just download the Windows 98 boot disk. The Windows installation disk contains the files necessary to start Windows, so it is itself a boot disk.

An image backup is a complete copy of a hard disk or other media being backed up. The copy is complete in that it can be restored to a completely empty hard drive – as in a replacement hard drive after a failure – and the result is a hard drive that contains everything that the original did.

'>image backup as soon as possible, and use that as a fallback. You can always restore to that image in lieu of a reinstall, and you’ll be back to where you were at the time the backup
A backup is nothing more than an additional copy of data, ideally kept in a different location than the original.
If there’s only one copy of something – say a photograph on a mobile phone – then it’s not backed up. If that device were to fail or be lost, then the photograph would be lost forever as well.
Computers are excellent at making copies of digital data, and backups are one important use of that functionality.
It’s generally recommended that important data be backed up in at least one, ideally more, separate devices or media, such as an external hard disk. In addition, it’s recommended that critical data also be backed up in another physical location, such as a different building, or online.
More than anything, the important concept is that there never be only a single copy of important data. That’s not backed up.

You could also get in touch with the vendor who sold you the computer. They provided you with a copy once; perhaps they’ll be willing to get you a replacement copy.

You could, I suppose, go buy a new copy. Most people aren’t interested in doing that, because they don’t want to pay for something they feel they’ve already purchased.

That’s when most people resort to finding a place from which to download Windows. Depending on the version of Windows and where you find it, it might even be legal.

Or it might not.

Big fat legal caveat

It’s been my understanding for years that downloading a copy of Windows from … well, from just about anywhere, was illegal. Even if you had a copy of a product key to activate it, simply downloading a copy of the software breaks copyright law.

I believe that’s still true for versions prior to Windows 7. I know of no legal places to download Windows XP or Vista.

Beginning with Windows 7, Microsoft actually made full ISO [ISO image]

An ISO, typically shorthand for ISO image, is an image of the contents of a CD or DVD disc.
ISO files are convenient ways to distribute CD and DVD images for download, as they contain every sector that would be present on the original disc, including the boot sectors. When used to distribute software, such as operating system images, the result is that once the ISO image is actually burned to the corresponding media, it is a bootable disc from which that operating system can be installed.
ISO files are used to distribute more than operating systems, however, and are a common way to distribute anything that would benefit from being provided as a CD or DVD image.
Technically, ISO files are simply archives or collections of files, much like .zip files, though ISOs are not compressed. As a result, their contents can also be examined and extracted using several common archiving tools, such as 7-zip.

'>ISOs of the operating system available for download.

But you’ll still need your product key. Those you cannot just download for free: you’ll either need to have one that works (and not all do), or you’ll need to purchase a new one. (There are some exceptions around Windows 10’s upgrade path.)

Legal issues aside, I will say this: in my opinion, downloading Windows is ethical if (and only if) you already have a valid, purchased, product key.

So I must cover my assets and include this bottom-line caveat: if you elect to take this download from anywhere other than Microsoft itself, you assume all risk and potential liability relating to its legality.

Download Windows 7 SP1

You can download Windows 7 SP1 from Microsoft here.

That’s a link to the US-English download site – if you’re elsewhere you may need to search the Microsoft site for the download specific to your locale.

Download Windows 8.1

You can download Windows 8.1 in ISO form directly from Microsoft here.

Once again, that’s a link to the US-English download site.

Download Windows 10

Download Windows 10 here.

Once again, that’s a download of the US-English version directly from Microsoft.

Even though Windows 10 may be automatically downloading on some machines, downloading the ISO is often the fastest, most reliable way to perform the upgrade or re-install.

Important things to know about your Windows download

It’s big, really big. You’re looking at a download of several gigabytes for most Windows editions. Depending on your internet speed, that could be anywhere from an hour to several days’ worth of download.

It’s an ISO file. For best results, you’ll want to then burn that ISO file to a DVD, which in turn should behave pretty much like an original installation DVD.

It’s not OEM. These downloads are the generic, retail versions of Windows. If your machine came with a copy customized by your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), then those customizations will not be present, and your product key may not work. Product-key issues aside, this typically means that after installing from this copy, you’ll need to get any missing applications and drivers from the computer manufacturer directly.

If your product key doesn’t work

Again, make sure you download the edition of Windows for which your product key was originally issued. That means matching the Windows version (7, 8.1, or 10), the edition (Home, Pro, Ultimate, etc.), and possibly even bit-ness

See CPU bit-ness.

'>bit-ness (32 or 64).

If your product key is an OEM product key, as I said earlier, it may not work with the retail version download. There’s no legal way around this I’m aware of, other than to return to your computer manufacturer and ask for a replacement Windows disc

Disc, spelled with a c and not a k, specifically refers to optical media.
CD, DVD, and Blu-ray technologies are all optical storage mechanisms that use lasers of one form or another to read from their corresponding media. As a result, those media are most properly referred to as discs, not disks.
The term “disk” is then reserved for everything else – most commonly, magnetic media such as hard disks.

Download Windows and install it legally without a product key

You can, of course, download Windows without having a product key at all.

But it’s not free.

You can purchase Windows as a direct download from Microsoft, and that will include a valid product key for your installation.

Malware is short for malicious software. Malware is a kind of catchall phrase that encompasses pretty much any kind of software that could cause harm to your data or your machine.

Update 1/19/2016: Removed references to 3rd party downloads for Windows 7, and replace with a direct-from-Microsoft download link. Thanks to all who pointed out that this had been made available.
