Call Microsoft
you can find a few retail copies on ebay
newegg and amazon only have OEM which would require you to reinstall windows
aside from that, general retail sales of windows 7 ended a few months ago

you unfortunately will have to roll back to windows 7 Home edition if you are unable to obtain a license for win 7 Pro. Which really means you will have to do a reinstall and install home version, you can download the operating system, and you will need to use the product key that is on your computer. Of course you will have to back up your data first. Reinstall the os, then reinstall your applications, drivers, then migrate your data back to this machine.
