Is there a legal way to obtain Win7Pro ISO's now that Microsoft has killed the links?

[JRW79]

Title pretty much says it all, I want to get a legal Win7Pro ISO so I can install it on used machines I am fixing up and selling in local classifieds, letting the customer know that it is installed for their convience and that obtaining a serial is up to them and will probably cost them money. Is there any way to obtain an W7 ISO without a serial, like a trial version or something along those lines? I've found a site that looks like a legitimate blog with links to ISO's but I've read that there are blogs diguised as legitimate places to download Win7ISOs but they are actually infected with malware, should I assume any ISO that isn't from microsoft.com is an illegal image and infected?

Fairly certain you cannot legally sell a computer with a Windows OS installed and not include a valid license.

Yea... 99% sure that's illegal. Just sell it with no OS or give them an option of paying for a real license.

You're most welcome.

There are many operating systems which you can freely install as a courtesy to your customers. FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and CentOS are amongst the most commonly recommended ones.
