Reinstalling Windows 7

Hi. So about 2 years ago i bought this laptop (Dell Inspiron n4050) that comes with 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I think i made a blunder by upgrading it to Windows 8.1 and cleanly wiping the disk, so now i would like to know if there is any way to reinstall Windows 7? It doesn't come with a re-installation CD so will a random windows 7 home premium iso file work?

    There is no downloadable Windows 7 OEM .iso. Microsoft removed them in February 2015. The Windows 7 Microsoft Software Recovery Tool blocks Dell Windows 7 OEM licenses.

    Windows 10 TH2 will however activate with your Windows 7 OEM key and will be released in a few weeks.
