Hi guys, Win7 ISOs with SP1 U (Media Refresh) are not available anymore on DigitalRiver, MS has taken down the servers! See the news on heidoc.net http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links The ISOs are available ONLY on the Software Recovery Centre with a Retail-Key, an OEM-Key does not work! Older ISOs are still available. Regards, Thiersee

Added 4.6 RC Slim

@Forseti, there was no reason for you to have attempted to post that image. That went too far. Remember the forum rules, in this case: @niTe_RiDeR_Pro, you didn't help matters when you egged him on referring to his posts as "nonsense" and saying that he was a "strange person". I have edited your posts to remove those statements. Let us all please remember to treat all members of the board with the same respect that we want them to treat us. So instead of criticizing the way the addon creator chose to make an addon: Cheers and Regards

MS has taken these down before and restored them after a few days. While I don't doubt that MS would want to force folks to jump through hoops since regular support has ended for Win 7 as yet another boneheaded decision MS has made, the official status is only a guess by heidoc.net: (emphasis mine) I guess we'll have to wait and see if it sticks this time, or if there is a more official announcement. In the meantime, you should probably be sure you have a valid source for future use tucked away for safe keeping, regardless what you need to do to obtain it, just in case. Not that we can officially encourage or support any underhanded, illegal behavior, of course. There are other officially sanctioned ways to obtain a valid source disk, all of which will usually cost the user some amount of money. MS might "send you a replacement disk instead. This will happen at a small processing fee, and also requires you to enter the product key of course." "Windows 7 is available from Amazon in three different editions: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate", but I don't know in what languages. You can also usually find different versions available on ebay or other such sites. Or if you are desperate, willing and able you "can still buy a new or second hand Windows 7 system, and receive a fresh disk with it. If you have an existing key, you can of course use it with the purchased disk as well, and hence equip two computers with Windows." Expensive I know, but as a last resort... Remember, you always had to have an official product key anyway in order to legally use Windows 7 for longer than the 30 day trial period, which you were able to reset 3 times for a total of 120 days. But none of the above options are as inexpensive, quick and easy as being able to download the source from an official MS site. Let's hope MS comes to their senses and restores this ability for at least as long as Win 7 is in extended support. Cheers and Regards

This tool lets you edit the registry of a selected image and i only recommend this tool for advanced users who have experience with the registry, so on that note... WARNING: This tool is for ADVANCED users only! As usual when working with images you will be asked to select the image you wish to work with, above i used a previously mounted image. Once you have selected the image you wish to work with then go ahead and click next. NOTE: If you can't see any images in the list then click 'Browse' first and select your install.wim Load Hive Once done, you should see a screen like above. Select the registry items you wish to edit and click Load Hives and the regedit window should open. Importing You can click Import which will convert a registry file (*.reg) and Win Toolkit will automatically convert and import it for you. Unload Hive You can use this to unmount that registry hive when you no longer needed it, note though that it will do it automatically for you anyway when you try and close the tool. Once done, close the tool and you should get a prompt asking you to save or discard the changes to the image. The rebuild option seems pointless if this is the only thing you have done to the image. Accessing the registry Open the registry as usual (WinKey + R > "regedit") and you should see something like the picture below:
