Where can I download Windows 7 Professional ISO 64 bit?
Microsoft no longer provides an obvious Windows 7 ISO option on its current software download pages, so getting an original image for an older PC can be difficult. For a Windows 7 professional iso 64 bit download, this method uses a browser script to make the Microsoft download page display older Windows editions. The script does not contain the ISO itself; it only changes the product choices shown on the page so that Microsoft can generate the download link.
How to get a Windows 7 professional iso 64 bit download
Step 1: Install the User-Agent Switcher and Manager browser extension. Open the extension and change the browser profile to Chrome on Android, then apply the new user agent to the current tab.
Step 2: With that user agent enabled, open Microsoft’s Windows download page. Leave this page open because this is where the Windows edition will be selected and the download link generated.
Step 3: Open bmsimons’ GitHub Gist. This page contains the JavaScript used to add older Windows editions to the product list on the Microsoft page. Copy the script shown in the Gist.
Step 4: Return to the Microsoft download page, press F12 to open Developer Tools, and select Console. Paste the copied JavaScript into the console and press Enter. After it runs, return to the page and check the product selection list again.
Step 5: Select Windows 7 Professional SP1 from the newly displayed choices and confirm it. Choose the required language, then select the 64-bit download option if Microsoft still generates it.
Step 6: After downloading the ISO, you can use Windows and Office Genuine ISO Verifier to calculate and compare the image hash with its database of known Microsoft ISO hashes. This provides an additional check that the downloaded image matches a known original release.
The GitHub script is third-party code and Microsoft can change its download page at any time, so this method may stop working. Read the script before running it, and keep the downloaded Windows 7 installation offline when possible because the operating system is no longer supported.
