Written Guide January 2020Windows 7 Reached End of Mainstream Support in January 2015. Extended Support lasts until January 2020. For more details see.Your Windows 7 OEM or Retail License is eligible for a Free Upgrade to Windows 10 for more details see.
Contents.Windows 7 SP1 – Retail and Commercial OEM Download LinksFor Dell Systems updated are recommended.The Windows 7 November 2011.isos from Microsoft are unbranded and can be used with any Windows 7 OEM or Retail License. For OEM Licenses one may skip the product key during installation to begin a 30 day trial and apply their manufacturers OEM SLP post installation to activate Windows 7. You need to purchase a product key or you can install without one for a 30 day trial.If you have a system which came with Windows 7 Home Premium OEM preinstalled e.g. From Dell there should be a COA affixed to the system (maybe in the battery compartment of laptops or computer cover of desktops).For more details see Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean install of Windows 7:You can purchase a retail/OEM Windows 7 Home Premium license from the likes of NewEgg, Amazon etc.
And input the product key provided to activate. I’m going to use your files and tutorials to do clean installs of windows 7 on (3) oem machines this weekend (all machines have windows 7 COA stickers). I figured clean installs are going to be MUCH faster than installing via the oem recovery media, which puts a massive amount of bloatware that bleeds everywhereno matter how hard I try, I cannot get rid of it all. I’ve already contacted microsoft support, and they said that using the digital river iso’s on oem machines is perfectly fineas long as the product key on the COA sticker is valid for the windows 7 version on the iso. Thanks so much for putting this together! If you are trying to perform downgrade rights then you need installation media with HP system locked preinstallation as no Windows 7 key is provided for downgrade rights. I have these for Dell systems listed hereFor HP I have the files for Home Premium and can probably make these up for Professional and Ultimate from that (I have not uploaded these yet and these are untested).If the system has a Windows 7 Professional COA included then you can use the 25 Digit product key on that and manually activate via phone.
Okay so you have a Windows Vista Business COA with downgrade rights to Windows XP. Firstly did you get a new product key with the Reinstallation DVD, if not you should know that the System Locked Preinstallation key from the Windows 7 Reisntallation DVD will be rejected in your system as Dell never sold it with Windows 7.The DVD drive in the E521 does it read other DVDs? You can try a lens cleaning CD as there may be some dust blocking the DVD laser.
Its also possible that the DVD laser has failed (if it can’t read other DVDs this is likely the case). HI philipyip,I just have a little concern for which I can’t really find an answer anywhere explaining this more thoroughly: If you look at the bootom of this tutorial from Sevenforums.
Comit states that for dell users the recovery partition will be obsolete after reinstall!I’d hate to loose that! Is this true?I’d really like to reinstall windows 7 professional 64 bit oem on my studio1747 but using the Italian version ( since I’m a language enthusiast) but trying not to loose the recovery partition since it comes in soo HANDY!
(off course I will also make recovery cd/dvd/usb before reinstalling, just in ase).Was also wondering if a reinstall or factory reset would effect my entire hard drive or only the system partition C: ie not my extended partition i’ve created to store data??Many many thanks in advance since I know you’re the expert on this!Cian. If you go through the procedure of manual clean install with a Windows 7.iso the recovery partition will be rendered useless. Moreover if you have extended and shrunk the main partition, Dell Backup and Recovery may not work, rendering your recovery partition already useless. It usually does not like users or software/malware resizing partitions on the main drive. If you delete all partitions during the clean installation you can install Dell Backup and Recovery after Windows Updates and driver installation and make a new recovery partition from your clean install.You can try updating to the latest version of Dell Backup and Recovery which has some fixes and enhancements to address some of these issues. If it installs okay and finds the recovery partition, make the Dell Backup and Recovery media.
In the case of the Studio 1747 it will have a legacy non-UEFI BIOS so the Recovery Bootable USB is recommended (although that models probably modern enough to be able to also boot from an external hard drive). You can use it to restore the hard drive to factory state including the recovery partition. I’ve tested this even after a secure wipe with DBAN. Its advisable to maybe make 2 Bootable USBs as a backup just in case. You should ensure you use the latest version of Dell Backup and Recovery before proceeding.I am working on a Dell Backup and Recovery guide now that I have a device that is capable of capturing video within the Dell BIOS, it is still very much incomplete and I need some new Dell hardware with a UEFI BIOS for testing purposes:However I did make a guide restoring from a System Recovery USB a couple of days ago:You will see all the screens from the Recovery USB however my particular guide goes through deletion of everything and reverting to the factory state (the image of my clean installation).
There are however options to perform the factory refresh instead of the factory recovery.I have to admit I have not tested the creation of other partitions using a third party utility or at clean installation or the factory refresh function. As mentioned I need some additional hardware to make a Dell Backup and Recovery Guide that I am satisfied with (and I have got some of this additional hardware).
However I also need time and right now I am writing a PhD thesis moreover there should be a major update to Dell Backup and Recovery in March which would automatically make the guide obsolete. By that time I should have all the hardware I need and perhaps some time to do testing and write tutorials. I just realised I uploaded ones without USB 3.0 so I have updated the Home Premium 64 Bit and Professional 64 Bit.iso.
I will upload the Ultimate one later.It said on the Microsoft website “This rollup package includes most updates that were released after the release of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through April 2016.” but didn’t include IE11. Having to install 109 is still too many but beats over 200 which I had to install in the past.Microsoft should have made up to date.isos available every 6 months, never understood their resistance to do so.
Thats because Microsoft don’t refer to it as a Service Pack. They call it a “convenience rollup” See my note at the top:Note Microsoft silently released Windows 7 Service Pack 2 silently at the End of April 2016. They however called it KB3125574 “Convenience Rollup Update for Windows 7 SP1”. This rollup package includes almost all the updates that were released after the release of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through April 2016. In other words this is the 5 year awaited “Windows 7 Service Pack 2“. KB3020369 (Perquisite update for Service Pack 2) is required before installation of KB3125574 (Service Pack 2). For whatever reason Microsoft’s marketing team seem to be against the word Service Pack since Windows 8 was released I will refer to this as Service Pack 2 however.
Hello,I had an Acer laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Unfortunately, the laptop motherboard died a couple of months ago and I thought I’d migrate the laptop hard drive to a spare Dell Optiplex mini-tower that I have.
However, the system got stuck on “Starting Windows” loop and wouldn’t even boot in safe mode. I tried to use the Acer’s recovery utility, but it has made matters worse and the system is now completely hosed. There’s no “Startup” screen/logo, and pressing Alt-F10 no longer takes me to Acer Recovery – apparently, the Recovery Partition is no longer there.I summary, I am stuck with a Dell mini-tower, a hard drive with a corrupted installation of Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a Certificate of Authenticity for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit from the Acer laptop.What are my options?Thanks in advance for your help! First of all the license is OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer. An OEM license is a cheaper Windows licence designed to by preinstalled and supported by OEMs.
As an OEM can only support their own hardware the main limitation is the license is non-transferable i.e. Is permanently tied to the original hardware specifically the motherboard So you’d have Microsoft Product Activation issues after attempting the transfer.Second of all the OptiPlex likely has a substantially different chipset so the Windows 7 OEM install won’t boot. Attempting to restore to the recovery partition if it was there would flag up that the system is non Acer and give an error message.What model of OptiPlex? What license does it have? Not sure about the SFC errors I can try loading in a VM later and see if I can reproduce it but since it “fixes” it and says the problem is there again I would trust the.iso more than the SFC scan I have tested they.iso and the installs are stable.Regarding the Dell website when you input a Service Tag it should list all the drivers specific for your system.
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Iso
In many cases it lists the wrong variants which is why my guides also instruct in using the FTP website If the Device Manager says you have a 1704 card, it is right and the Dell website is wrongIf you are getting errors for both thats a problem can you give me hardware IDs. If nothing shows try to turn the wifi switch on and off. You may need Dell Quickset to do so. Some more details as I realise this comment is for the Windows 7 guide and not the Windows 10 guide.For Windows 8.x/10 Installation Media to pass SecureBoot you need to use FAT32 which means you are limited to 32 GB.As a USB Flash Drive can only have 1 partition its storage will be docked if a USB Flash Drive is 64 GB or greater. A USB HDD/SSD or internal HDD/SSD can have multiple partitions so can have a small FAT32 Boot partition and then larger NTFS partition.This has caused issues on the forums where users thought they had broke their USB flash drive by making Windows Installation Media.You should be able to use the 64 GB USB to make Windows 10 Installation Media. You will need to use Disk Management (right click start and select Disk Management) to delete the FAT32 partition and make a single NTFS partition.However because this guide is for Windows 7 (which cannot pass SecureBoot) and not windows 8.1/10 the USB Flash Drive can be setup to use the GPT partition scheme and NTFS.
This configuration has to be used as the “Windows 7 SP2”.iso has a file on it (the install.wim) which exceeds 4 GB. I just used 16 GB drives as they are what I have too hand. Not sure how 64 GB USB flash drives will cope but it should be fine. What am I doing wrong?!I’ve spent 5 days trying this and fail every time.
I have a brand new XPS 13 9350 with Win 10.Your instructions differ in 2 places from what I experience. 1) The BIOS has an option for Enable UEFI Network Stacks that is defaulted to disabled. 2)In using Rufus, the is no Fat32. It’s either exFat or Large Fat so I selected NTFS as you recommend.After booting into the Win 7 install, I can’t get past the error ” A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing.” I’ve tried many attempts of different scenerios injecting Dells drivers iaStorAC.inf & iaAHCIC.inf into a your iso, my own iso via NTLite and using Rufus without luck. In several cases, NTLite fails warning me that those drivers are wrong – recall they came straight from Dell for this purpose.Can I not install Win 7 after booting into 10 via setup.exe?Any help is greatly appreciated.ThanksAllan. Great news!The 2015 download ver worked!!Thank you for allowing me to hassle you with my issues.
Your site is now a permanent addition to my Favorites lists!Just for the record, I successfully got past the CD required error for the following XPS 13 9350 purchased 8/2016 using the download you noted in the comment above dated AT 19:07.1. Bios ver: 1.4.42. EPSA: Build 4304.07 UEFI ROM3.
Bios Boot file used: PCIRoot for SATA 0x2,0x0 /HD GPT4. I booted using UEFI with GPT formated USB 3.05. I manually added a USB boot device but did not use it in lieu of item 3 above via the Bios auto detection.I know I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth, but do you have any plans of updating the 2016 download version?
The 2016 version would have been updated if (1.) I knew exactly what additional drivers Dell had added and (2.) I had 6th generation Intel hardware to test with. Also (3.) it take a long time to slipstream the updates to the.iso and a long time to upload the.iso.However the guide needs to be updated. Essentially:The 2016.iso that I created then updated from my Reinstallation DVD can likely be used for hardware up to the Intel 5th generation processors.The 2015.iso that I got indirectly from Dell Technical Support is for the Intel 6th generation Processors (Skylake Chipset). The Dell systems are as mentioned here although oddly the XPS range isn’t listed. Your XPS 9350 is 6th generation Intel:I had issues when I tested the Skylake.iso with the 2nd generation Intel Processor (OptiPlex 790/7010) and 5th generation Intel Processor (Inspiron 7347).
Hence the guide doesn’t recommend this.iso in most cases.Soon there will be 7th generation Intel Processors which will likely need a new.iso. I have a Samsung laptop model R440 with a 64bit OS running Win7 Home Premium SP1.Recently my HDD started going bonkers so I bought a new HDD. Before replacing the HDD I went to MS website to try and download a copy of Win 7 but after entering the key, it said;“Error The product key you’ve entered appears to be for software which was pre-installed by the device manufacturer.
Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options.” (Yup I have an OEM license)I called Samsung Service Center and they wanted me to bring my laptop down and their techs will reinstall Win7 for me for an exorbitant fee which is more than half the price if I were to purchase a new Win7 key!!!!Based on your guide, I do not understand which steps to take to obtain the correct ISO of my Windows 7. (Or if it is possible at all)Can help me break it down in layman terms of what I should do? Sorry if I am asking too much. But whatever help you can give would be greatly appreciated.I refuse to part money with Samsung because they have screwed me many times over. (Read: They would find ways and means to make a customer pay for something even if the product is still under warranty!!
Bloody criminals!)I just need a workable ISO copy of Win7 SP1 for my laptop.Thank you very much,Mike. First of all, I would like to thank you for a great post with lots and lots of information.My mother’s laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5350 which originally had Windows 7 Pro OA X18-82072 but I assumed she upgraded it to Windows 10 when that rolled out. I believe the hard drive is completely empty, except a 30 MB Boot drive I can only access when trying to load drivers.
I followed the steps of downloading Windows 7 Pro SP1 COEM, then using Rufus with a 64gb USB and the “MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI”. Everything loads correctly and the first couple of prompts go smoothly but once I get to the part of installing Windows on to a Disk it fails and spits out an error of “Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300024.” I’ve tried looking at other sites and forums but everyone else had multiple disks/partitions and were typically dual-booting.
I just have one disk showing, titled “Disk 0 Unallocated Space”. How should I move past this error in order to do a clean install of Windows?
You are using the wrong partition scheme. The old GPT partitions are preventing you from installing Windows. That system has a 4th generation i3 (Quarter 3 2013) and Windows should be using the GPT partition scheme for UEFI BIOS. Windows 10 RS1 should be better to install:It’ll have better inbuilt driver support as it is 2016 installation media.If you stick to Windows 7 64 Bit installation use the GPT partition scheme. You may wish to use the Windows Installation Media (once remade using the GPT partition scheme) to wipe the hard drive using Diskpart see here:You’ll probably also need SATA preinstallation drivers as the 2011 commerical OEM.isos are 2-3 years older than your hardware. Hi Philip,Great job on the Win 7 guide! Please tell me what I am doing wrong!I want to re-install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits on a Dell Inspiron N5110 of 2012 with a non UEFI BIOS.
I downloaded the iso from your site. I used Rufus 2.11 to check the integrity of the file. Everything is fine. I transfer it to an 8 gig USB drive using your instructions for a non UEFI Bios.I boot the laptop with the USB key, the Windows installation begin and now I have the popup telling me a driver is missing (like you said on your guide). On another USB drive, I has downloaded the SATA drivers, I browse my USB drive to find the F6FLPY-X64 folder, I select it, press NEXT.
And 2 minutes after I receive that popup mesage: “No new devices could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media. I tried to install the same driver from the Dell Drivers CD. I tried to install the SATA driver from my hard drive with the old installation of Windows 7. Same error.At that point, I think the installation process want another driver (not the SATA), I have tried ALL the drivers on the Dell Drivers CD of my Inspiron N5110 computer.
Always the same error message.I can’t go further.What is my problem? Where I do a mistake Phillip??Serge Cote.
The.iso is good if the checksums match the ones I list.Although your system just missed out on a UEFI Boot it does have some newer hardware such as USB 3.0 ports and you will get such an error message if using a USB 3.0 port The system has (2) USB 3.0, (1) USB 2.0 and (1) USB 2.0 with E-SATA Power Share ports.In your case you should be able to use the USB 2.0 port for the Bootable USB otherwise you can follow my guide here to add USB 3.0 support to the install.wim and boot.wim and other updates to the install.wim. You can clean install Windows 10 Home using your Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key (regardless if your OEM support it or not – likely all the drivers are inbuilt to Windows 10 Installation Media or obtained automatically via Windows Update).You can clean install Windows 7 using OEM SLP. This guide gives instructions in doing so although you may want to use the Backup feature of the ABR program for your Sony (as I haven’t done in depth testing for Sony systems).For a dual boot you should clean install Windows 7 and then clean install Windows 10. Note strictly in accordance to the license agreement you should only run 1 version of Windows at a time Some “MVPs” say this will prevent a dual boot however you can only run 1 instance of Windows at a time in a dual boot and activation will work without a hassle. Hi PhilipI want to thank you for all the effort you have put into this content. I only wish I found it sooner.I have been going through some of the material related to the ISO files and believe that you have updated the 2 32bit windows 7 ISOs but not the articles content for checksums and files sizes.
The article refers to April 2016 files, but the file names say September 2016.Also in the Skylake article you reference both English and multi-language ISOs. The multi-language ISO is under the NEW folder. Not sure what is under the old folder.Can you also please reconfirm that the files in the “Dell Windows 7 OEM” are your slipstreamed versions of the Dell OEM product, not Dell OEM product (with the possible exception of the Skylake multi-language ISO).I am also not clear on the Skylake article about the applicability of the 2016 DVD to older hardware.
You also indicate at the bottom that the new images in this article are for the newer Skylake, however I just downloaded the Dell images from download link at Dell. I have a 7010 and a 3020.
The ISO’s downloaded were the WGC5Y2FR1DA00W7SP1PRO64ENG.iso)(the English only version)and G13K9PW4KGA00W7SP1PRO64ROW(DL)ISO respectively. I have not tried to install either and do not plan to in the short term, though I may try one on an older Dell Optiplex 780 which does not offer a download file, but I have available on the bench.I would like to offer 2 suggestions1 – add a date authored or last edited to the header of your articles2 – add a text file for each download with some clarification as to the contents and with the checksums.Thanks again. There are 2 Dell Skylake.isos.
The multi-Language one which I have uploaded and I haven’t bothered with the English only one as the multi-language.iso also effectively covers this.These Skylake.isos have been modified by Dell to include drivers for 6th Generation Intel Skylake Systems.Old versions etc. Is due to a bit of playing aroundThe old one is one I got when helping out someone who contacted Dell support before Dell released the official Skylake.isos so it is an older one.
This older one did not allow one to load other SATA drivers. I think the official one should work with older Dell systems. In fact I’ll just delete this from the drive.The Skylake.isos were released before Microsoft made the convenience rollup (April 2016). Slipstreaming the convenience rollup is slightly cleaner but I was unsure if I got all the necessary drivers for 6th generation hardware such as Samsung SSDs which is why I continue to recommend using the Skylake.isos on Skylake hardware.Now September 2016 I had attempted to slipstream more and more updates. However the.iso got larger and larger and the Security updates were obsolete the next month etc etc. So it was pretty much pointlessly increasing in size.
Moreover Microsoft started releasing monthly Security Rollups. I therefore reverted to the April 2016.isos (plus added additional storage controller drivers). At present the 64 Bit ones are April 2016 however it looks like I forgot to upload the 32 Bit ones so they are the paradoxically “older” September 2016 ones.They should work but I’ll need to upload the April 2016 ones next time I’m on a fast/stable connection. It’s been a bit of a horror show the last 24 hrs testing the 2 Skylake images and the DellWin7Professionalx64.iso. Long story short, on my Optiplex 780 test box I got 0x80070570 and later 0x80070015 errors. The 0x80070570 errors were installing over the existing D0V2K install, one each for all 3 ISOs. The 0x80070015 error occurred with the English only Skylake of a freshly formatted drive (G-Parted).
After this I had issues with my USB device and discovered some bad blocks. Not sure if this is a factor, but still all the installs that failed with 0x80070570 did so at the exact same point.I just found the post 14/9/16 (with great Dell link) where you said you had issue on the 790 and 7010 (Interestingly, noted above, the Dell download for the 7010 is the English version of the Skylake ISO), but not clear why your image failed to load on the 780 (I will retest with a fresh USB stick when I can).
Is this based on the 2011 DVD D0V2K? The 0x80070015 error looked like this.Regarding updates, I think keeping the ISOs up to date for hardware drivers should be good enough.Again, I will suggest adding a Readme file to the G-Drive in each folder.
The “old” 32 bit files now show an April 22,2017 date and 2 of the 64 bit ISO’s “April” files a December 15, 2016 date. A note about which generation of CPU is supported would also be good. Yesterday I tried to restore my old Windows Backup Images to the 780. On reboot the system went into repair and was unable to fix the problem. I installed a clean version of Win 7 from the D0V2K DVD and all was fine. I then retried the saved ImageBackups which still failed.This morning I remembered I had changed the RAID config in BIOS from RAID to RAID w/ AHCI. When I changed the BIOS config back the Image booted up fine.
Research on the subject led me to this post:This points to a MS note on how to change config in the BIOS to support the change in a working system:I also found this note:The MS note alone did not solve the issue. I had to set the ATAPI key to “0” in addition.HKEYLOCALMACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesmsahciHKEYLOCALMACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesatapiThis particular reply by Speedstep had a interesting comment that I thought may explain why the newer MS ISOs fail to work with some of the older hardware.and in more detail here“INTEL RST Drivers Drop support for Earlier chipsets from version 9 to 10 to 11 to 12 to 13”It looks like 9.6.0.1014 is the latest offered for the 780, not sure what version is in the Dell ISO or how to validate chipsets to versions. Might injecting the driver during install fix this issue?
