Microsoft Windows 7 recovery
My hard drive went down so i bought a new one only problem is windows came installed, Dell will not give me a copy even though I have a key, but Dell will not as it is past warranty, Microsoft will not let me download as the copy of windows is OEM. So I am a pickle of how to get a copy save paying £60 for something I already own. a Ideas? Looking for a Dell version windows 7 64 bit recovery image to download,

Gavlad8,
If you purchase a Windows 7 disk from Dell it will install on the computer just fine. I do not know about the other sites disk. You may want to ask them this question or read their FAQ's

Gavlad8,
You can click the link below to purchase a Restore Disk. I do not know what the cost is for the Windows 7 disk. You can also contact Dell to purchase a Windows disk as well.

You can download a Windows 10 .iso from Microosft and clean install with your Windows 7 OEM key:

Otherwise you can download a commercial OEM .iso from Microsoft but it requires a couple of tricks:
