I was hoping to avoid that optionIs it still possible to purchase a copy of Windows 7?They often appear on eBay
I meant a product key not the ISO fileIs it still possible to purchase a copy of Windows 7?Just install it as an iso from internet archive for free and put it on a disc or usb, no need.

You can get physical copies from places like ebay. There would be an activation code on the box.Does the phone activation or an activator program work?I was hoping to avoid that optionIs it still possible to purchase a copy of Windows 7?They often appear on eBayI meant a product key not the ISO fileIs it still possible to purchase a copy of Windows 7?Just install it as an iso from internet archive for free and put it on a disc or usb, no need.

Yeah not too sure about that one if I'm honest. The person who had gave you the product key might know the activation code.No ik that i mean like if u have a product key or found one (y'know) u can do thatYou can get physical copies from places like ebay.

Yeah, to be fair windows vista was pretty ambitious from a UI point of view, so they toned it down in win 7 so it would work better on hardware from that time.(#193)most aspects of windows vista was reused in windows 7Windows Vista?

Yes windows vista could've been great, but even today, i doubt it would be perfect. Take mac os tahoe for example – even in 2026 its impossible to make areo glass truly work.i feel like, windows vista was an great OS, but the time microsoft launched it PCs still were bad and most with 1GB or lessYeah, to be fair windows vista was pretty ambitious from a UI point of view, so they toned it down in win 7 so it would work better on hardware from that time.(#193)most aspects of windows vista was reused in windows 7Windows Vista?
