Windows 7 ISO

Options
Hi All,

I have a Toshiba laptop z830t that I would like to flatten and reinstall windows. The laptop doesn't have a recovery partition and I don't have a windows 7 dvd. It came with win 7 home but I was able at the time to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate via the mircosoft partner programme.

I have the product key but I don't know where to get the OS in a downloadable format, any one have a link?

Thanks
Andrew

    but I was able at the time to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate via the mircosoft partner programme.

    It's a while since I've signed into the partner site, but all the ISOs were available to download from there, usually linked from the page where the product key was given.
  • Originally I imaged it and formatted for a clean install with the intention of restoring from that but I'm out of the UK at the moment without access
