Where to Buy Windows 7

As an older OS, Microsoft no longer sell Windows 7 direct. However product keys can be bought cheaply off sites like G2A or Kinguin - we're talking under $20. These keys can then be entered in on the official Microsoft site to download the OS - you can be sure that you're not downloading a dodgy version with malware by doing this.
