You're being denied a download from Softlay.Net ?  Are you sure? Downloads fine here?

@Reece - Nice job. Mind if I bookmark your OneDrive share link too? Do you plan on leaving that there for the long term?

Regards, Andrew

I'll leave it there for now.  I'll probably get a letter from Microsoft one day asking to to remove the files.  Or if I run out of cloud storage, I'll be removing these first because of their size.

Thanks Reece. I've bookmarked it to share with others for the time being. Generally, OEM owners can just grab ISO's straight from Microsoft, but in a case like with the OP, a link like yours can be very handy if other distribution sites are being hammered too hard.

I can't see why Microsoft would be fussed about it either - it's not like you're distributing IKC's - install media without a valid license to activate is useless anyway. Also, if there was a problem, I can't see how sites like softlay.net would stay up for long.

Very generous post Reece. Endorsed!

>>  but first i need to check if the disk still works or recover the instalation  <<   i use the manufacturers disk diagnostic for testing disks
best check ram too - i use the UBCD for this, see below
you can Always make an image of the drive (if it's still operating ok) and work on that
it also helps if you post more info on the problem you have - errors, etc...

Hardware diagnostic CD    UBCD
---------------------------------------------------
go to the download page, scroll down to the mirror section, and  click on a mirror to start the download
Download the UBCD and make the cd   <<==on a WORKING PC, and boot the problem PC from it
Here 2 links, one to the general site, and a direct link to the download

since the downloaded file is an ISO file, eg ubcd527.iso - so you need to use an ISO burning tool
if you don't have that software, install cdburnerXP : http://cdburnerxp.se/

If you want also the Ram tested - run memtest86+ at least 1 full pass,  - you should have NO errors!
direct download :  http://www.memtest.org/
 
For disk Diagnostics run the disk diag for your disk brand (eg seagate diag for seagate drive)  from the HDD section -  long or advanced diag !  (runs at least for30 minutes)

**  you can make a bootable cd - or bootable usb stick
*** note *** for SSD drives  use the tool from the manufacturer, like intel 's toolbox :

for completeness -here's how i handle disk problems : https://www.experts-exchange.com/Storage/Hard_Drives/A_3000-The-bad-hard-disk-problem.html

==>>****in order to be able to  boot from CD or usb - you may have to disable secure boot in the bios

usually windows serial number nowadays is encoded in BIOS. if you have Windows 7 Pro, and installed windows 7 home, it will ask you for activation. but if you formatted and install windows 7 pro, you will find activated already.

so no worries from where to download, just make sure that the downloaded ISO matches your pre-installed version.

Thank you guys

You can grab it here: Windows 7 Pro Free or Windows 7 Lite Edition for Free
