How do I download the windows ISO file?

[Hejasaurus]

I tried doing what windows recommends with my product key, but all it gives me is an error code that links back to the page that gives the error.

It only works with retail keys. If yours is OEM, you will have to find another source. Or I suppose you could have a friend with a retail key download it for you.

What's the error code? They usually mean something.

Agrees with Falcon's advice. (Not sure what he meant by have friend grab it from you, I don't think OEM keys will activate a retail copy.)

The download site requires a retail key but the disk itself will work with an OEM key. So if a friend has a retail key he can download it for you.

Of course, you could also obtain the disk from another source.

So you need a retail key to download it from the website, but it will activate with an OEM key? I've always bought and then spun my windows disks, I haven't used a digital download form of it yet.
