Microsoft have removed the Digital River .isos so Windows 7 is no longer downloadable... In 2 days Windows 10 will be released. Microsoft have not yet stated the options for those with a Windows 7 OEM license and a failed hard drive.

Thank you. 

Can you boot into your Windows 7 Installation? If so you should proceed with the Windows 10 upgrade and then clean Reinstall Windows 10.

If you can boot into Windows 7, prepare for the Windows 10 upgrade:

If you can't then try Clean Installing Windows Insider 10130 and using it as an intermediate step to get Windows 10 Pro:

Note you may have to use 32 Bit Windows 10 for this model.

In that case, run the F12 preboot diagnostics:
