Windows 7 Download periodically updates pricing and information of OVF VHD File Viewer free download from the publisher, but some information may be out-of-date. Using cracks, warez serial numbers, registration codes or keygens for OVF VHD File Viewer license key is illegal. I am very new to OVF template feature and I created an OVF file from windows 7 VM. I created this OVF file from vSphere client (5.1) by using the export template option. But the size the OVF file is very huge around 12 GB, but only 2GB of space is occupied by installed third party software in that VM.
This OVA template allow you to run VMware ESXi inside a VM running on top a physical VMware ESXi host. It’s specifically configured to allow for clustered VMware vSphere VSAN configuration. It implements ALL the performance enhancements implemented in vSphere 6.5 U1, and has been tested with vSphere 6.7. This template currently will NOT work with VMware Fusion, and has NOT been tested on VMware Workstation.
For more information consult this blogpost:
The UDA is a Linux based virtual appliance – which is a PXE/TFTP/Web-front end system designed to deploy many different operating systems – can be used to deploy ESX4/5 in a scripted installation process. You can see like a poor-mans Alteris or HP Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP). The creator of UDA is Carl Thijssen who is based in the Netherlands. I’m merely a user/test/documenter. The official site for the UDA is ultimatedeployment.org which hosts the VMware Workstation version, whereas I host the VMware ESX version – and you can get “support” on how to deploy ESX with the UDA by posting to this thread on the VMware VMTN Communities Forum.
The current version is UDA 2.0 Build 17, and there is a series patch to take it up to Build 26. You need patch 20, 23 and 26 added sequentially to make the UDA support VMware ESXi.

I have a sample subtemplate and template files that I use on my own lab environment. But there’s no shortage of people who share the scripts with the community such as this one from Dean Colpitts.
My scripts were built from a couple of resource which I’d like to acknowledge here. That’s because its been a while since I’ve done serious ESX “kickstart/Weasel” scripting and my own scripts were horribly out-of-date. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I used sources/resources from the community. So I’d like to thank:
- Konstantinos Michalitsis – Who provided the base subtemplate/template which I then modified
- Multipathing Configuration for Software iSCSI Using Port Binding – key esxcli commands for iSCSI
- William Lam – for how to enable “Management Traffic” on a VMKernel Port
I’ve got a range of terrifyingly small OVFs/OVAs for use in your home lab. As we all know memory (and to a much less degree disk space) is premium in a home lab. If you want a number of VMs to play with a good option is to use some super-skinny Linux distribution. Often these start their lives as “boot CD” design for troubleshooting, and then they evolve into something you can install to disk or USB drive. Sadly, there is always a ready to download VMware OVF/OVA to get started with. So I’ve created a bundle for you to choose to download or ones that are available else where.
My personal preference is for SliTaz which although is bigger than Damn Small Linux and TTYLinux – I found more “robust”. By robust I mean I could kill the VM and it would come back up without an error. Whereas DSL (especially) and TTYLinux (less so) would often fail to boot after a dirty shutdown and require a file system check. I think that’s to do with the types of file system supported in each distro.

For years, Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 ISOs through their content delivery partner, Digital River. On February 2015, the company decided to take those links down. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to download Windows 7 ISOs, legally and for free, either by using Torrents or a free app that provides links straight from Microsoft.

Why do we need to download Windows 7
Many of us bought our copy of Windows 7 pre-installed with a new desktop or laptop PC. More often than not, though, the box didn't contain a full Windows 7 DVD.
Usually, we would get a 'recovery disk' or a recovery partition, to reinstate the operating system to its default settings. But this would also restore all the third-party bloatware and crapware the manufacturers include. Remember Superfish?
The ability to download Windows 7 ISOs is essential for anyone who wants a clean Windows installation for their PC. It is also handy if we misplaced, lost, or destroyed our original disk.
How is it legal to download a Windows 7 ISO?
When we buy a copy of Windows 7, we don't get a special installation DVD. Every DVD of a particular version - e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium x864 or Windows 7 Professional x64 - is identical to all the others.
What we buy is the unique 25-character product key. We will find it as a sticker on the retail Windows 7 DVD case. Or, with pre-installed Windows, stuck underneath our laptop and on the side of the PC tower.
Download windows 8 lite iso. With this product key, we can install Windows 7 using any disk of the corresponding version. No matter where we got the Installation DVD, we will end up with legally activated Windows 7 on our PC.
We can even download Windows 7 as an ISO from the shadiest torrent site. As long as we are using our genuine product key, the Windows installation will be 100% legal.
Where can I find the Windows 7 product key?
If our Windows 7 PC didn't have Windows preinstalled and doesn't have a sticker, we can use special applications to get the Windows 7 product key.
How install kodi 19. Some apps will even work in cases where we can't boot into Windows, as long as the hard drive is functional.
Just check out our guide on how to find the Windows product key.
Microsoft giveth, Microsoft taketh away
Even though it would work, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea. For all we know, the ISO could contain a host of malware: rootkits, trojans, keyloggers; you name it.
That's why it was a big deal that Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 as an ISO through Digital River. We could download Windows 7 and be sure that the ISO was clean and untampered.
And then, in early February 2015, Microsoft decided to take down the Digital River ISOs, for good. Sure, they have set up the Microsoft Software Recovery website, the 'official' way to download Windows 7.
However, to download Windows 7 through this site, we need the product key of a store-bought, retail version of Windows.
In case we have a desktop or laptop computer with pre-installed Windows 7, we own an OEM Windows 7 License. And Microsoft's website, for reasons unknown, won't let us download Windows 7 ISOs with a valid OEM product key.
So, as OEM owners, what are we supposed to do? Steal a disk? Beg friends and strangers for a Windows 7 DVD?
According to Microsoft, we should order a physical replacement disk, wait a couple of weeks for the delivery, and pay the shipping and handling fees. Not exactly an ideal solution.
The clean ways to download a Windows 7 ISO
The good news is that whatever goes up on the Internet, never really goes away - for better or for worse.
The German mirror http://mirror.corenoc.de/ has done an exceptional job gathering the Digital River ISOs and uploading them as torrent files. They have all the different English versions and even a few in other languages.
Download Windows 7 Torrent
To download Windows 7 using a torrent file, we will need a torrent client. In the example, we will be using the popular torrent client qBittorrent.
Any torrent client will work, though, such as uTorrent / μTorrent or BitComet. So, if you already have a torrent client, you don't need to install qBittorrent.
With a torrent client installed, we only need to download our preferred version's torrent file:

The torrent file is just a few kilobytes in size, and it will download immediately.
Please note that the MD5 Checksums and SHA-1 Hashes refer to the Windows 7 ISO, not the torrent file.
How to use the torrent file
With a correctly installed Torrent client, we just need to double-click on the torrent file, which will start the application and will ask us where to download the ISO file.
Depending on our internet speed, and the available seeders, the ISO file should download in a few minutes.
How can I trust that the Windows 7 ISO is clean?
As we mentioned earlier, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea. So, since a random German mirror site isn't exactly a reputable source, how can we be 100% confident that these ISOs are clean and safe?
Fortunately, Microsoft can help with that. You see, these ISOs are the same ISOs we could download if we had an MSDN subscription. And Microsoft provides the SHA-1 checksum for the ISOs downloaded by MSDN subscribers.
We just need to visit this page, where we will find the relevant information for all the Windows 7 ISOs.
We just need to look for the version we downloaded using the torrent file, and click on 'Details'. For the example, we will be using Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (x64).
- Ignore the Product Keys and Download buttons; they won't work without a 1000$+ MSDN subscription -
We know that we have the correct version from the ISO filename.
To confirm that the ISO we downloaded is 100% clean, we just need to compare Microsoft's SHA-1 checksum with the ISO file's checksum. Winx hd video converter giveaway.
For this, we will use the free MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility.
This app requires the .NET Framework 3.5, and Windows will prompt to install it if we don't have it already.
Apart from the .NET framework, the app is portable, and it doesn't require an installation. We just run it, click on browse, and select the Windows 7 ISO.
Make sure to select the Windows 7 ISO and not the torrent you used to download the ISO.
Depending on our CPU speed, calculating the checksums will take a couple of minutes.
On the MSDN page, we select the SHA1 checksum and copy it.
We paste it on the Verify Hash with Generated Hash field on the app and click on Verify.
The 'SHA-1 Hash matched' message means that these Windows 7 ISOs are 100% identical to Microsoft's ISOs, and not a single byte is different.
How to download Windows 7 straight from Microsoft
Torrents are an excellent way to download large files, but they are not for everyone. If you don't have a torrent client and are not keen on installing one, there is an alternative way to download Windows 7 straight from Microsoft.
What's best, this way will allow us not only to download Windows 7, but also Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and several versions of Microsoft Office.
The Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc.net
Firstly, we need to download the latest version of the Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc.net. As of this writing, the version is 4.36, updated on May 12th, 2017.
The app is about 1MB and it will download instantly.
VirusTotal gives the app a 100% clean bill of health. But feel free to test the latest version yourselves on VirusTotal.com or with the antivirus app you use on your PC.
How to use the Windows ISO downloader
The Windows ISO Downloader is a portable app, that does not require an installation. We just open the app, and we are good to go.
The app is particularly easy to use, even for completely novice users. Firstly, we select the version of Windows or Office on the upper right-hand corner.
Then, from the main window, we select the edition that matches our product key. For most users with preinstalled Windows 7, the correct version is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 COEM, or Windows 7 Professional SP1 COEM.
After we hit the 'Confirm' button, we get to choose the Windows 7 language. Our product key will work on any language available.
Once we confirm the language, we get the option of downloading either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows.
These buttons and the subsequent links will only work for 24 hours from the time of creation.
You should note that the download happens straight from Microsoft's servers.
On a fast ADSL or VDSL connection, the download will take approximately 20 minutes.
If we want to use a different browser or a download accelerator, we can get the download links from the 'Copy link' buttons on the right.
We can then paste the link to the browser or app of our choice.
