I have a valid version of windows 7 on the pc I'm currently using. I recently ordered components for an entirely new computer which will arrive soon, and I intended to install windows 7 on that new computer using the license key I'm using for my current computer. I no longer have the windows 7 installation disks, so I thought I would simply download a windows 7 ISO onto a USB stick and use that to install windows on my new computer. But as it turns out my version of windows 7 is a OEM version (could have sworn I bought it in retail, but whatever) so I cannot use my product key to download a windows 7 ISO from the recovery website.
Is there any way I can get a windows 7 ISO onto my USB wihout having to look for one on some shady BitTorrent site where it has probably been tampered with?
And if I do manage to get my hands on a windows 7 ISO and use that to install windows 7 on my new computer, will I be able to use my OEM product key to activate it?
