There's no single Windows 7 ISO file that contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You need to download separate ISOs for each architecture. Trying to combine them is not a simple task and wouldn't be a reliable approach.

- If you have a valid Windows 7 product key, consider contacting Microsoft support or visiting their official support pages for guidance.
- For security and licensing reasons, always download software from official sources.
