[SOLVED] Software

Where can I either down load or get windows 7 or 10 software for free

You can get the install media for free from Microsoft.
You'll need to verify a key to download 7.
10 can be downloaded and installed without a key.

Not sure I understand the question nor the premises for the question

• What do you mean by free download in first place?
• Are you in a place where you pay for band width and monthly data use, and need to pay for downloading programs ?
• Or are you referring to the cost (license fee) for the software in question.

If the Licence fee is a problem for you, then there are tools for that:

• There is a lot of open source programs out there. One very nice concept is the portableapps, a very very nice tool to pack loads of progams on a usb stick and you can run most of the programs without admin rights.
• For most apps out there, there exist apps that can do the same job. Eg. if you wonder if there are alternatives to Microsoft Office, you can do a visit to alternativeapps.net and search for that program, and you'll get a list with alternative apps, that in many instances can make the same job done.

Also, going further - If free apps is such a great goal, why bother with a paid version of Windows? You may rather go for something like Linux (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) and you still have a ton of software for disposal.

The installation for Win 10 is free. Direct from Microsoft.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

The license to activate it is what costs money.
