AI Thread Summary
Downloading Windows 7 for free is primarily possible for students or faculty at universities with a site license that permits distribution for educational purposes. Microsoft does not support requests for illegal download sites. Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 may be done at no cost if users stay within the same architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), but this typically requires a purchase of an upgrade edition. The upgrade process involves obtaining a 25-character product key, which is provided when Windows 7 is purchased. Options for purchasing include the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for those currently using Vista or XP, and a full version for those not using these operating systems. The upgrade family pack is available for around $150, offering multiple upgrade licenses.

The only way I know, to get Windows 7 for free, is to be a student or faculty member at a university that has a site license that allows them to distribute it to students and faculty for educational purposes.

We do not allow requests for illegal download sites.
 


The link that I posted is from microsoft, and it seems that they will allow no-cost upgrades from Vista to 7 as long as you stay within the 32-bit OR 64-bit versions (within limits). So there may be a way to avoid extra charges for the upgrade.
 


Microsoft sells separate "upgrade" and "full" editions of Windows 7. The instructions that you linked to, almost certainly refer to this upgrade edition. I don't see a reference to a free upgrade. I do see a reference on page 2 to the 25-character Windows product key that you get when you buy Windows 7 either in a box or by downloading it (and paying for it) online.

On Amazon.com:

Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (if you're currently running Vista or XP)

Windows 7 Home Premium (if you're not currently running Vista or XP)
 


Oops, jtbell. I missed that. $150 for the upgrade family pack, which give you a number of upgrade options.
 


thanks guys
