    Unfortunately MS has managed again to block the ISO Downloader from generating download links for Win 7 and Office 2010.

    It is still unclear whether it is a temporary block, or whether my collection of product keys, that generate the links in the background, has been completely burned. As for now, I'm pausing link generation for the next 24 hours, before re-starting it with a massive throttle. Cached download links of the past 24 hours remain accessible until they expire.

    In the mean time, you can either download the files from DELL (multi-lingual), or use the recently leaked updated Win 7 images (English only):

    Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/E/6/1E6B4803-DD2A-49DF-8468-69C0E6E36218/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_ULTIMATE_x86FRE_en-us.iso

    Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/1/9/5195A765-3A41-4A72-87D8-200D897CBE21/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_ULTIMATE_x64FRE_en-us.iso

    Win 7 Pro 32 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/C/0/6/C067D0CD-3785-4727-898E-60DC3120BB14/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_PROFESSIONAL_x86FRE_en-us.iso

    Win 7 Pro 64 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/3/06365375-C346-4D65-87C7-EE41F55F736B/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_PROFESSIONAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso

    Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/D/A/EDA6B508-7663-4E30-86F9-949932F443D0/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_HOMEPREMIUM_x86FRE_en-us.iso

    Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/A/8/EA804D86-C3DF-4719-9966-6A66C9306598/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_HOMEPREMIUM_x64FRE_en-us.iso

    These images include all updates up until August 2018 including (warning!!) the Windows 7 telemetry updates.

    These downloads will be included in the next version of the ISO downloader.

    The future of the normal Win 7 downloads depends on whether my key collection will start working again after a few days of cool down period. If they do, we will be able to provide a few language editions per product (about two to five different languages at a time, determined by community demand).

    If the key collection is burned, I will let it cool down for about six months, and then try again to provide a few language editions per product (possibly obtaining more product keys in this time frame, to be able to add very few downloads back before the six months are up). I will give an update after the weekend to let you know which of these two possibilities is the case.

    The next release of the ISO downloader is planned for some time next week, including the Win 7 August 2018 updates, as well as some highlighting in the languages dropdowns for Win 7 and Office 2010 to indicate which languages are currently available.

    about 4 years later sometime in March 2023, all these links to these Win7 ISO downloads w/ telemetry updates included are now broken and generate 404 not found errors.  so it seems Microsoft has pulled these W7 ISOs off their download site in 2023

    Update:
    The retired, out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 desktop application has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. 


    IE11 visual references, such as the IE11 icons on the Start Menu and taskbar,
    will be removed by the June 2023 Windows security update (“B” release) scheduled for June 13, 2023.

    When was the IE11 desktop application permanently disabled? (Updated: February 14, 2023)
    The out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application was permanently disabled on certain versions of Windows 10 on February 14, 2023 through a Microsoft Edge update. Note, this update will be rolled out over the span of a few days up to a week, as is standard for Microsoft Edge updates.

    All remaining consumer and commercial devices that were not already redirected from IE11 to Microsoft Edge were redirected with the Microsoft Edge update. Users will be unable to reverse the change. Additionally, redirection from IE11 to Microsoft Edge will be included as part of all future Microsoft Edge updates.

    IE11 visual references, such as the IE11 icons on the Start Menu and taskbar, will be removed by the June 2023 Windows security update (“B” release) scheduled for June 13, 2023. The optional, non-security preview “C” release on certain Windows 10 versions scheduled for May 23, 2023, will also remove IE11 visual references.

     

    the Windows ISO Downloader creator needs to be aware of these

     

  3. it depends on how the Win7 COA key was activated

    if it activates via online/internet, you're good to go.  if it fails internet activation with an error, call Microsoft
    and activate by phone

    I am using v8.46.0.154 on Win 11 (x64)

    I find the windows 10 selection tab is not working any more.....

    Any solution forthcoming?

    not yet.

    and the Windows ISO Downloader tool currently does not have the newly released Windows 11 2022 Update (aka 22H2) ISO 22621.382 downloads mentioned, which Microsoft posted on Tuesday September 20.

    both the tool and the server need to be updated for the 22H2 build 22621 release of Win11
    would also be great if the Windows 10 and Windows 11 downloads were placed on "separate" sections in the next version of Windows ISO Downloader (one for Windows 10 and another for Windows 11 and not having both of them in the same section as they're already too many Win10/Win11 ISO downloads to be all shown in one screen)

    The new downloader is supposed to be released before IE11 EOL, as the old one is likely going to cease working when MSIE gets removed from Windows systems.

    IE11 EOL in mid-June 2022 applies only for certain Win10 editions.  IE11 on Win10 LTSC, Server and IE11 on Win7/8.x not affected by EOL announcement as noted in the IE retirement FAQ as IE11 for Win7/8.x got new updates in July 2022 (KB5015805) & August 2022 (KB5016618)

    Which platforms will be affected when the IE11 desktop application is retired and goes out of support on June 15, 2022? (Updated: June 13, 2022)

    In scope at the time of this announcement (will be retired):

    • Internet Explorer 11 desktop application delivered via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC):
      • Windows 10 client SKUs
      • Windows 10 IoT

    Out of scope at the time of this announcement (unaffected):

    • Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge
    • Internet Explorer platform (MSHTML/Trident), including WebOC and COM automation
    • Internet Explorer 11 desktop application on:
      • Windows 8.1
      • Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU)
      • Windows Server SAC (all versions)
      • Windows 10 IoT Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) (all versions)
      • Windows Server LTSC (all versions)
      • Windows 10 client LTSC (all versions)
      • Windows 10 China Government Edition

    What about Windows 10 LTSC and Windows Server? (Updated: November 19, 2021)

    In-market Windows 10 LTSC and Windows Server are out of scope (unaffected) for this change. Windows Server 2022 and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 are also out of scope.

     

    unrelated news but recently the Fido tool from Rufus USB app can no longer download Windows ISOs from Microsoft as reported by Neowin

    the Heidoc.net Windows ISO downloader 8.46 tool can still download Win10/Win11 & Win8.1 ISOs though

    edit - apparently it was a temporary problem that lasted almost a day and the devs for Rufus/Fido have quickly fixed the problem

    Those files are available now. I currently don't have the time to investigate the differences. Feel free to share your insights here everyone...

     

    the november 2021 refresh versions of the Win11 ISOs contain build 22000.318 instead of the somewhat buggy 22000.194 build released in early October 2021 (I suspected the refreshed ISOs perhaps to correct/resolve the expired certificates problem with some built-in Win11 apps)

    Now I need to find a product key to activate it, I don't want to use third party activation programs but if there are no more options I will have to use them. 

    we discourage the use of such 3rd party activation tools so you're on your own for that one.
    maybe ask around if someone has an unused Win7 pro key or buy one online somewhere

      Does this windows 7 Version works with my OEM keys? Please answer

    it depends on what edition of Win7 you are installing
    what edition are you installing? Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate
    yes OEM keys also work when running Win7 setup but again it depends on the edition

    I am unable to download this?

    you're too late - MS had removed the Win7 ISO downloads earlier this August; can't download the W7 ISOs from MS anymore
    saw this in another forum

    Quote

    If you go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7 (where the ability to download an ISO should be), you get redirected to the EOL for Windows 7 screen. MSDN doesn't work either.

    I kind of remember that too. Also, any update on Windows 11 Downloads? I only find sdks. 

    no Win11 ISO downloads until final release in late October 2021.

    although there were W11 insider preview ISOs (w/ build 22000.132) that were made available from MS several days ago in late August

    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.

    I had a feeling this day would come when MS would eventually remove the Win7 ISO downloads from their web site once Win7 went EOL

    Good thing I already downloaded the W7 ISOs several years ago while Win7 was still supported by MS

    I agree completely with everything you say. Microsoft is detestable. Not only do they force unwanted updates which damage computers, but they also have zero liability and even worse they don't care one bit. Their support site is a joke.

    that's what happens when Microsoft got rid of their QA team several years ago.  the quality of updates for most Win10 versions have gone down some (the March 2021 updates caused blue screen errors for some & have also caused several printing issues and had to release some out-of-band updates to clean up their mess)

    Now 21H1 is about to be released, and I think that could trigger another forced upgrade for old releases. If I remember right, these releases have a life span of 1.5 years, meaning, you can only use 2004 for another couple of months before the next forced upgrade is due. Therefore, it could be better to upgrade straight to 20H2, which will last 6 more months until early 2022.

    speaking of the upcoming 21H1 release Jan, Microsoft has recently announced that they're getting ready to release it soon

    Quote

    We are preparing the Windows 10 May 2021 Update (version 21H1) for release. We believe that Build 19043.928 is the final build for the May 2021 Update, and the media for this build can be downloaded here.

    there are also 21H1 preview ISOs (with build 19043.928) available from MS for Windows Insiders as noted by MS (the current Windows ISO downloader tool does not download these updated 21H1 ISOs though)

    Why can't Windows 7 download?

     

    The Internet tells you to download the Windows 7 ISO here.
    But why am I not down?

    Please reply

    you can only download the Win7 ISOs from MS on the 1st day of each month only (aka. April 1, May 1, June 1, etc)
    on all other days, the Win7 ISOs are not available for download due to severe restrictions by MS

    next chance for you is May 1

    A clean install is best, if you upgrade from Home to Pro you may be missing some stuff. For example many of the "Groups" in "Local Users and Groups" (lusrmgr.msc) are missing.

    plus the ability to delay or defer feature updates or upgrades in Win10 Pro
    Win10 Home starting with the 1903 release only had ability to pause updates but not have the option to defer big feature updates
