Official Microsoft Windows ISO files are not publicly accessible. You may need to contact Microsoft support or use authorized redistribution channels for Windows 7 Home Premium.

You'll find an official Windows 7 .iso file because activation is required. Here are download options: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso and http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official...ads.12325/ For other languages or 32-bit versions.

It doesn’t appear Microsoft releases its own ISO files. That might seem unusual.

Microsoft handles most tasks with a mix of enthusiasm.

Ugh, annoying Microsoft. Fortunate I run Linux.

These are the authorized files from Microsoft, though they aren't typically listed on the standard Windows site. They were shared by a forum moderator (no matching English version found): http://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windo...a31127b035

Ich verstehe einige deutsche Ausdrücke, daher konnte ich den Text lesen. Es ist dennoch seltsam, dass Microsoft keine Downloads auf ihrer Website anbietet.

They run their own community site, which makes sense since it’s part of their platform. It’s understandable they might want it more visible, but they often explain their choices—like avoiding confusing free .iso downloads or targeting users who know how to locate it through forums. Their goals can be strategic, such as promoting Windows 8 over Windows 7.

I haven't found any sources with Windows 8.1 downloads available.

They don’t provide a Windows 8 ISO for direct download; you must visit the store each time. The link you shared points to the official method.
