Official Windows iso files

Maximation

Are there official Microsoft Windows iso files available? I checked microsoft's website but couldn't find any iso files.

I need a windows 7 home premium iso file to reinstall Windows.

Any Windows 7 .iso will be "official" since you have to activate it anyway. Here is a download link for windows 7 home premium 64bit SP1: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso

If you need another language or the 32 bit version.

Doesn't Microsoft provide their own iso files? That seems pretty weird to me.

Oh well, thank you very much!

Those are the official downloads from microsoft, but you can't really find them on the normal windows website. They were posted by the community moderator on their forum (can't find a similar post in english, sorry): http://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/wo-kann-ich-die-windows-7-iso-dateien/610a3a3c-e99c-42e6-8cf8-fda31127b035

Good, I can understand some Deutsch so I was able to read the answer. I still find it weird that Microsoft does not provide the downloads on their website.

Well, it's their forum, so technically it is on their website. I agree that they could make it easier to find, but they usually have their reasons (not confusing people with "free" downloads of the .iso files, people who really want to download the .iso are usually tech savvy enough to find it if it's on the forums, they're trying to push windows 8 so they don't want to people to go for windows 7 right now, etc. etc.)

Okay, that's stupid..... They don't actually have the windows 8 .iso for download, they want you to go through the store every time. I just found this. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8Ah 

Thanks, ah ok yeah no worries, yeah I was going to do this method if there were no ISO downloads from microsoft's site for 8.1
