Re-installing Windows 7 Without Disc

[Shark Dentist]

Hey guys,
I'm getting a new motherboard and CPU etc so I'm going to have to re-install windows 7 because I'm using my the same HDD...

How do I go about doing this if I don't have the disc anymore?
I got KeyFinder and found out the serial key for my Win7 Ultimate + my friend told me I can put Win 7 on a .iso file and burn that to a disc.
Can someone run me through the steps,lease?

First you have to get the ISO.

Then you just burn the ISO image to disk.

Download the relevant ISO file from the above link.
Whatever software that you use or comes with your DVD drive or PC will allow you to 'Burn ISO to disk' (or similar wording)
This will create a bootable disk that you will use to install with.

You download the relevant ISO from the above link.
That is the installation data. Burn that to a DVD.
Boot from that DVD.
Install.

You can get this info by Googling it.

And there is also a LOT of bad or misinformation to be found on google. Which is why people come here...to hopefully find the right answer, rather than an ad, something illegal, or something malicious.
