Downloading ISOs for Windows 7, 8.1, 10

U can't use Rufus to download Windows 7 *Roll :roll: there was a Media Creator Tool out for it, but it's not anymore u need a legal key to be able to download Win7.

 

Windows 7 Premium ISO required

You could try make and universal win 7 disk if have an original .iso and see if will take license key
Using the eicfg_removal_utility or manually editing the iso/image/disk
Edit iso then Rufus it to flash drive
