How To Get A Free Windows 7 Installation Disc

You can use installation media (a USB flash drive or DVD) to install a new copy of Windows, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.

To create installation media, go to the software download website, where you'll find step-by-step instructions. On that website, you can select a version of Windows and create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD. To go directly to one of the versions, select one of these links:

Copy all the contents of your Windows 7 installation disc to a new folder in any drive. If you have Windows 7 ISO, use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract ISO contents to the new folder. Run vLite software. In the main window, hit the browse button to input the new folder (with Windows 7 installation files).

  • Windows 10 (Then select Download tool now.)

Installation

Important: Back up your files before you install or reinstall Windows on your PC. Learn how for Windows 10 or for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

To create the installation media, here's what you'll need:

  • A PC with a reliable internet connection. The download time will vary, depending on your internet connection.

  • A USB flash drive or DVD. A blank USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of space, or a blank DVD (and DVD burner). We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD because any content on it will be deleted. When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you're told the disc image file is too large, you'll need to use dual layer (DL) DVD media.

  • A product key. Your 25-character product key (not required for digital licenses). For help finding it, go to Find your Windows product key.
