Microsoft has a Win7 .iso download page here:

It requires you to enter your key to validate which version you can download, but it is broken and offers some people the wrong languages. My US Only English version only offers me...
The upgrade disc I have is what you got when Win7 was first released, it was actually a preorder.
I've seen some reports of windows update problems occuring, but nothing really specific. I'd appreciate any tips anyone has to help me avoid problems doing this.
I should also mention that I...

I was thinking of getting an Asus gtx 770, but I saw a few references to the card sagging when installed. Is this a common problem with the current crop of higher end cards with larger coolers or is it an Asus problem or just this card?
I don't recall seeing this mentioned in any reviews...
How are the drives advertised as NAS drives different from drives like the WD Black? Can the NAS drives be used as a standard desktop drive or is there some reason it shouldn't?

I'm going to build a system with an I7-4770K and most likely an Asus Z87-Pro mobo.
Is there any down side to using DDR3 2400 1.65V ram vs something slower running at the standard 1.5V ?
All 2400 on Newegg is 1.65V . Does 1.65V cause any longevity or stability problems?

Does anyone know if the Windows 7 SP1 ISO files that are available at digitalriver will activate with an upgrade key or do they require an OEM key?

Do you or don't you have to make changes in the bios of a new Z87 board to install Win 7? How or why does having a UEFI bios change Windows installation?

Is it possible to install Win7 on an Intel based laptop, that comes with Win8, when the manufacturer doesn't offer any Win7 drivers? I've seen a few I might be interested in but I have no desire to use Win8. What problems would I likely run into attempting this?

I'm going to be building a Haswell system in the near future and it will have a discreet graphics card. During the first boot of the system will I have video on the discreet card or do I have to use the onboard graphics until I can modify the bios settings?

I will be building a new Haswell system in the near future and I would like to know which test programs and system info programs are currently recommended to test a new build. I'm not sure of the specifics yet but it will have an SSD which I've never dealt with before.

I've got an adv fmt drive on an XP system that had the alignment tool run on it. When I move that to a Win7 system do I have to do anything to it? Will formatting it under Win7 restore the drive or does it require something more?

After seeing the recent story about Samsung settling a class action lawsuit resulting from their use of cheap capacitors that were failing in their televisions, I'm wondering what people think of the quality of Samsung laptops?

I'm running XP SP3, one of my HDDs gave an error that says it is not formatted but the disk management console says it is healthy. I'm assuming that the partition table or master boot record got corrupted somehow.
Any suggestions on programs I can try to fix this? Will chkdsk fix this type...
Most of the memory I see that is sold in 4 stick sets says it is quad channel. Am I right that for the most part it is all just 4 sticks of dual channel memory unless it says it is compatible with the new X79 chipset which really does use quad channel memory?
