Reinstalling Windows 7

Hi. So I bought this laptop few years ago that came with Windows 7 Home Premium. I then upgraded my laptop (Dell Inspiron n4050) to windows 8.1 and cleanly wiped the disk. I kind of regretted my actions as now i get frequent blue screens so i would like to know it there's any way i could reinstall Windows 7? It doesn't come with a re-installation disk so will a random Windows 7 iso file work? Thanks.

    Yes, any Windows 7 ISO will work as long as it is Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I tried that link, unfortunately im still unable to find an option to request for recovery disks, but is there any website available so i can download Home Premium iso? Digital river is down.

    He posted the wrong link. He should have posted a direct link, not a shortened link which likely would not have resulted in the wrong location. This is the link he should have provided:

    However, it is only valid for US and Canada (and possibly now the UK).
