Microsoft support online chat provided me with a link to downlaod Win7. I trusted it since MS gave me the link but I verified the hash just to be safe. The earlier post about the hashes listed them, but I found them on the MSDN site just to be sure.
I'll give it a shot if my other thread doesn't pan out. The bad thing is that even if it all goes my way, it is still going to be a massive pain in the rear.

We shall see I guess. I had already burned a DVD with the ei.cfg file modified from OEM to Retail. I was trying to figure other options because even if doing this will allow a Retail key, will it allow a Retail Upgrade key instead of a Retail Full veersion key?
I'm going to work on it in...
I own a legal, never used copy of the homepremium upgrade. My version is pre-SP1, I want to download the SP1 version to minimize problems with Windows Update.
As has happened with other people, according to the help forums at Microsoft, when I enter my key (English, US Only version) the site...
Microsoft has a Win7 .iso download page here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7
It requires you to enter your key to validate which version you can download, but it is broken and offers some people the wrong languages. My US Only English version only offers me...
I built the machine. There are no Win10 drivers for the mobo on the Asus support site.
I think the machine is too old to boot from USB, but I'll have to investigate that when I can. But removing ei.cfg would just present the choice of different OEM versions, it still wouldn't allow you to...
From what I understand, you can't install from OEM and then activate with the key from the Upgrade version. The OEM disc is for PC I'm about to build.
The PC I'm about to upgrade has an Asus mobo for which there are no Win 10 drivers, 8.1 were the last. Also, it belongs to parents and I...
I've got the original upgrade version which is going on an older XP machine. The OEM disc is for a yet to be built system.
I know how to do a clean install with the upgrade disc, but I wondered if there was some way to slipstream the SP1 part from the OEM disc with the upgrade disc. But...
The upgrade disc I have is what you got when Win7 was first released, it was actually a preorder.
I've seen some reports of windows update problems occuring, but nothing really specific. I'd appreciate any tips anyone has to help me avoid problems doing this.
I should also mention that I...
No servers. I7-4770k, gtx 970, 3 or 4 case fans plus cpu cooler, 1 ssd, 3 hard drives.
I've been looking at the cyberpower pfc true sine wave series, but I'm open to others. I'm wondering if the 1500va unit is worth $40+ more than the 1350va unit in my case.
I turn off my pc when I'm not...
I assume the APC units have fans, do they run all the time or just when the unit is on battery power? How loud are the fans? I'm trying to build a quiet pc which will be moot if the UPS has a loud fan.
I'm building a system with a Seasonic Platinum rated power supply and I'm wondering how a UPS with a simulated sine wave output will affect it, if at all?
