You can download win 10 and 8-8.1pro for free from the windows site.

 

But windows 7 is almost impossible to get... Anyone know a way around this?

You need a serial key. That which I do not have.

you need a product key, why dont you have that? 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

I have done this in the past. I am assuming you are looking for any windows 7 ISO and not a specific one like windows 7 64 bit professional
i found one with a direct download and no required serial in 5 minutes in google. 

Cmon bruh im sure you can find it

(im not sure if linking it is aloud in forums)

Because it costs over 100$

 

This is a strange situation tho. Win 8-10 are completely free.

You can download 7 from somewhere, I've tried in a VM, but after 30 days of using you get a message every 15 minutes saying "Hey, motherfucker, you're trying to steal windows 7 from us? No you ain't, put in yo product key right now" and you can't close the message unless you restart.

Digitalriver used to host back ups a while ago. I believe that was the website. I dont know if the website is still around though.

Fuck yeah, I'd love to pay for an operating system when a free version of linux looks almost the same, and not buy that 750Ti I saw on Newegg for my budget gaming pc.

Yeah there's no way I'm paying 100$ for an OS when you're able to get the newest one for free...

windows 10? I'm pretty sure if you went from a pirated/un-registered copy of windows 7/8 you could have done that (as Microsoft did say fake copies of windows 7/8 will get upgraded to a full licence of windows 10) but you can no longer do that as the upgrade period has finished and when you install windows 10 fresh, it's gonna ask for a key (and when you upgrade, it's gonna ask for a key).

 

Use Linux if you don't wanna pay (or use kinguin/G2A/reddit...) as we are not allowed to talk about how to pirate on this forum.

Just get Windows 10, you can use it without activating but you can't personalize the PC in settings, and a watermark will be shown at all times.

Didn't matter. The key stopped working after 10 hours. They tell me it's my problem.
