Looking for this, if anyone has a reliable source where to buy this please let me know. Prefer offline stores but will take online too if it seems okay to me. If you have a reliable and trustworthy suggestion where I might find please post it below. I have found Windows 7 Pro 32 bit in a local store but prefer Ultimate and 64 bit. TIA.
 
May I know why you are looking for Windows 7? Windows 7 has been declared End of life and microsoft does not provide security updates if vulnerabilities are found in Windows 7 down the line. You may also find it difficult or impossible to activate your windows license. Windows 10 is safer and as stable as Windows 7 and I recommend going for it unless you have a presssing need for Windows 7 like in factories where the DCS and PLC software run on a particular version of windows only and upgrading means you have to buy new DCS PLC software and upgrade the processors as well
 
No legal source to buy windows 7 if that's what you are asking. Just download the original ISO from reliable sources & use the "DAZ loader". It is a security risk though to run such an end-of-life OS though unless you know what you are doing.
 
I once got few Windows 7 keys with Dreakspark account which I didn't use and still have them.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 32/64-bit (English)

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 64-bit (English)

Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 Debug/Checked Build 32-bit (English)
 
I don't think Windows 7 is and should be sold for retail anywhere as the product is well beyond it's 'end of life'. Windows 7 will be fine as long you don't connect to the internet. But it's obsolete and possibly vulnerable for cyber attacks as there ate no more any security updates and patches. Windows 10/11 should be able to run on any moderately older hardware if at all and they can fetch the required drivers themselves.
 
I have a W7U64 DVD, but in Japanese Language. Purchased 13 years ago when I built a PC there.

Recently installed it too on some old HW, then disassembled it.
Updates were stuck, found a workaround on the web which manually installs one specific update, then it works fine.

I don't think you'll be able to buy new anywhere though..

Can you tell us about the use case? just curious as to why?
 
Personally I will not touch 7 even if the system is air-gapped. The only use case which makes sense is some esoteric legacy H/w or S/w which is unsupported beyond 7.
In any case, this pretty much covers all required information while this guy maintains a page on ESU patches which requires separate licensing.

EOL long time ago so officially you find it anywhere unless you bump into some shop but buying it isn't advisable as the keys wont activate and you will end up wasting the money.
Iso's are freely available on the net with activators. Try those.

Its an outdated product? ,their are many sources to get windows 7 if you want, i don't understand why exactly do you imply so heavily about getting a license ? Just use kms activator and be done with it
 
Yeah I don't want to promote piracy but this case kinda needs it and it's not like MS is losing money here on not being able to sell a product which has been off the shelf since half a decade already.
At this point it's abandonware.
The best way is to simply download an ISO which is already up to date with patches integrated from a trusted source. I can DM you that.

If you don't wanna trust going that route then just download the last official one from MS which would be severely outdated as of today from massgrave website.

Activate using Daz loader which just emulates that you have a OEM SLIC license.
