    I want to upgrade a friend's computer from Windows Vista to 7. Where online can I find a legal version I can download and burn into an install CD?

    Since the release of Windows 8, the Microsoft store no longer offers a Windows 7 download. They now only offer Windows 8.

    At $39.99, it's not a bad deal for a download upgrade to Windows 8.

    There are places out there that still offer it as a download. I believe Cnet still offers the full Windows 7 full retail as a download, not an upgrade though.

    -=EDIT=-
    I found where they've hidden them away. Apparently you can still order the Windows 7 discs from Microsoft, but it is not offered for digital download. The discs are full version only, not upgrades.
