Hi guys,
I just purchased the student-special-offer edition of Windows 7 this morning and went ahead to buy the version for 64-bit system even though my current system runs on 32-bit, figuring out that I could perhaps configure everything (I checked, my computer is 64-bit compatible). However, after I downloaded the ISO file (Link Removed due to 404 Error) and the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool onto my computer and run the download tool, I can't even get past the first step as it doesn't recognize the ISO file. Is there a step I missed? Thank you so much!
That is not a silly question at all! I am actually confused by that... I saw under the directions that Microsoft/Digital River posted that the ISO file is around 3GB, but when I went to the link provided (by Lifehacker), the file was 170mb... I don't know what 3GB ISO file they're talking about then?
Thanks!
i clicked it with my opera browser and it went straight to download an ISO file 3.1gb in size , so maybe just try download it againthe ISO file (Link Removed due to 404 Error)
Thanks, I just double-checked and the file states that it's 3.0 GB as well, but as soon as it starts downloading, the process gets terminated automatically at no more than 300MB. I have tried this over and over again for no less than 30 times and I've never gone past the 300MB mark...

Is that the home preminum version ? It's got to be the 64 bit version
Did you burn it at 4x ? Burning faster seems to often cause errors reading the disk.

Thank you so much... I think I am just going to ask for a refund and reorder the 32-bit system. My ram is only at 2.0 GB, so I don't think 32 vs 64-bit will make much of a difference, right?
I was trying to see whether I could upgrade my system to 64-bit... it's possible but for whatever odd reasons, I just can't download the ISO file for a clean upgrade. I went to the gizmodo site and tried the link provided -- I think it's the same one supported by digital river? It still gets cut offGetting a refund for 64 and reordering one for 32 is going to be a hassle... I submitted my request this morning and haven't heard back yet, so they must be busy answering questions. If only I went ahead with ordering the 32, I would not have to install this onto DVD/USB and just installed over my current system... this is the price for greed
