If you have a Retail copy of Win7 Home Premium Upgrade, help please.

Microsoft has a Win7 .iso download page here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7


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 Korean version to download.

You enter your key to validate, then choose the language (I need English), then it offers 2 links that expire in 24 hours, one for 32bit and one for 64bit.

I would appreciate it if anyone with a copy of the US English Retail Win7 HomePremium Upgrage version could goto the site and enter their key to see if it offered them the English version for download.

If it does, if you could right click the 64bit link and "copy link" and then paste that here or in a PM to me I would really appreciate it.

To reiterate, I am not asking for your key, just the link and the site is a genuine Microsoft site.

Thanks,
BGC

I own a legal, never used copy of the homepremium upgrade. My version is pre-SP1, I want to download the SP1 version to minimize problems with Windows Update.

As has happened with other people, according to the help forums at Microsoft, when I enter my key (English, US Only version) the site offers me the Korean version only. And of course MS has no incentive to fix it because they want everyone on Win10.

Downloading it from other than MS or Digital River would make me very nervous that I had a hacked version.

Microsoft support online chat provided me with a link to downlaod Win7. I trusted it since MS gave me the link but I verified the hash just to be safe. The earlier post about the hashes listed them, but I found them on the MSDN site just to be sure.
