Windows 7 Free win 7 for testing ?

Hi

Can we download the windows 7 32 bit for free for testing purposes? I had one like ten years ago however I don't remember how long it lasted for. I had it for a decent amount of time though as I remember playing farcry on it.

Windows 7 is out of support, why would you want to test on it?

Because the software I've been trying to run works on it

There are test VM images you can download from the Microsoft developer site, but they are only valid for 90 days. Windows 7 is not available since it's out of support. If you really need Windows 7 I would suggest buying a license from a third party retailer . They should be very reasonably priced

Nice advice @Neemobeer. Creating a virtual machine with windows 7 can run a program dedicated for Windows 7. Nevertheless @anotherwindowsuser have you tried compatibility mode?

Yes it didn't work.

My brother told me last year win8 was so unpopular they made the win 7 support longer, not sure about true dates to be honest.
