Windows 7 download genuine iso [duplicate]

As you may have found by now you cannot purchase Microsoft keys from ebay and expect this to be a legitimate transaction.

Windows keys cannot be sold separately from the content their refer to. I'm afraid you were the victim of a common scam. :(

In the future only purchase Microsoft products from established suppliers.


The only downloads Microsoft offers are for MSDN/Technet subscribers. But I believe you can see the page with the SHA1 hash for the ISO and compare it with what you can get elsewhere.

For reference, the hash for Windows 7 Ultimate from MSDN:

SHA1: 5395DC4B38F7BDB1E005FF414DEEDFDB16DBF610 (x86)
SHA1: 326327CC2FF9F05379F5058C41BE6BC5E004BAA7 (x64)
