I'll give it another try on the MSIE8 developer VM from MS.
Great! I hope to see your findings soon.

Thanks! Looks like it's broken indeed. Did you apply all available updates for Win 7 and MSIE8?
Well, it is the vanilla version. If I updated it to EOS, it would install IE11 as well, so I kept it vanilla. I just enabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in Internet Options. Other than that, no changes at all.

@Jan Krohn This is what it gives me.

I first need to verify that the downloader no longer works on MSIE8 on a Win 7 vanilla system. It could also be an issue with your installation. If it turns out to be a general problem, I'll change the website.
I know that the downloader works on Vista. I've not advertised it since I don't have the capacity to support it.
I will quickly install a Windows 7 SP1 Vanilla VM with IE8. I will get back to you soon.

Thanks for notifying. As I'm working on the MS Edge version of the downloader, MSIE 8 issues will no longer be fixed.
Thank you. I think you should update your website though saying it is for IE 9 and later. Another thing that I found out is that the program works on Windows Vista. Is it supposed to work for Vista or did you add support?

I have noticed recently that with Internet Explorer 8 installed on Windows 7, the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 downloads do not load. Instead, it freezes and I have to restart the program. Is this a known issue? It says on the download page that the minimum is Internet Explorer 8.

I seem to have found links for Office Professional Plus 2010 English directly from Microsoft. Hope this will be helpful for someone.

I fear that this will have to wait. There are too many changes that require major work, such as the IE11 end of life, and the removal of the Win 7 downloads.
For now, here's the latest Win 10 Home download for your model, which I generated manually with your service tag.
Link is valid for 24 hours.
How do you generate these? I can't find the page to generate these links anywhere.

Yes, back then everything was available without having to have a product key. Good old times.
I kind of remember that too. Also, any update on Windows 11 Downloads? I only find sdks.

"We encountered a problem processing your request. Please try again later."
I'm very sure there will be no later.
I think it is gone for good too. I just tried the legacy version of your iso downloader, and it seems to work fine, only think that does not work is Office 2007, 2010, Windows 7, and certain versions of Windows 8.

Yes, it's gone.
Since MS is going to pull MSIE from Win 11, more changes need to be done. Please wait for an official announcement about the ISO Downloader.
In the mean time, I've set up a Gofundme to cover the cost of a Visual Studio subscription (formerly MSDN). My first tests have revealed that download links from MSDN can be shared, so there's still hope to get Win 7 back - if the funding goal can be met.
Sad. Hopefully you reach your goal! What message did it give when you tried requesting the api? Did it give something like this api has been discontinued? Or did it give there was an error processing your request?

The English downloads are always among the first to be unlocked.
However, no guarantees that the downloads will come back on 1 August, since MS has taken the download page offline.
Can't seem to download files, keep getting this file will be available next month. Has Microsoft finally taken down Windows 7 and Office 2010 links?

I don't know exactly. At some point I realized it was gone. But as you said, the API kept working.
Well, the last successful archive of the Office download page is from October 12, 2020, which probably means they took it down after end of support since the November 1 snapshot gives 404. http://web.archive.org/web/20201012053334/microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/office http://web.archive.org/web/20201101053706/microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/office. Meanwhile, Windows 7 was still up until at least July 18. I checked on July 21 and it was down already. http://web.archive.org/web/20210718031019/http://microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7.
Luckily, I was able to generate links and download many versions of Windows 7 and Office 2010 earlier this year using your tool. If the downloads are taken down, I guess you will have to remove them in your next update.
-
Yes, an example of the API working for Office 2010 earlier this year is when I successfully downloaded Office 2010 on the Windows 7 Download Page. When did they take down the office 2010 page anyway?
-
Looks like they have taken down the Windows 7 Download page. Are the files still on their servers?

Hi there, I would like to know how you generate links to versions of Windows. I found https://www.heidoc.net/php/isounlockv6.php?productEditionId=4&languageId=FQC-03908&luminati=1 this php file on your server which is used to generate Windows 7 links. If possible, would you be able to tell me how this works or send me the source code? If you don't want to share it here, you may just direct message me. If you don't want to share it, that is fine, but please let me know. I hope you have a great day!

@Jan Krohn Any update on this?
