Windows 7 ISO + W10 question

Hi,
I have a valid Windows 7 Pro 64 bit License Key, but no disc. Would anyone be kind enough to direct me to the best place to download the ISO?
Also, and apologies if this has been asked 1000's of time before, but if you want the free upgrade to Windows 10, but you don't want to start using Windows 10 until Windows 7 support ends, is there any legal way of achieving that, even if it's a bit of a rigmarole?
Many thanks

By the sounds of it, Microsoft will let you downgrade a Windows 10 upgrade. So, if you perform the free upgrade within the first year, then downgrade back to Windows 7, you should (I'm told) be able to keep using Win7 until support ends, then convert back to Windows 10.
At least... I think that should work... :-/0 -

My cynical mind tells me Microsoft will have closed off that possibility by the time the year is nearly up. They won't want to be losing revenue.... DaveHappily retired and enjoying my 14th year of leisureI am cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.Bring me sunshine in your smile0
