WIndows 7 reinstall
The hard drive in this desktop crashed and I want to reinstall Windows 7. I go through all the support links but it tells me there isn't an image download for my service tag. I guess since it's an older build.
So how to I get the OS image or iso files to install it. I am the original purchaser and it shows up in my account info.
Any help is appreciated.

chansman,
If you enter your windows 7 product key into the link below then you may qualify for the download of the windows 7 installation media. Worth a shot.

You can Download a Windows 10 TH2 .iso from Microsoft and clean install with your Windows 7 OEM Product Key. See here for more details:

Microsoft removed the Digital River .isos in February 2015 that worked with Windows 7 OEM keys and it is not Downloadable from an official source. See here for more details:

CHANSMAN,
Unfortunately, there are no ISO win7 downloads for older computers. You will need to purchase the disk. The link below has Windows Restore disk.
