Microsoft no longer provides the down-load. Find a Windows 7 ISO on the Web Archive (archive.org). For integrity, get its hash and put the hash in-to ChatGPT or what-ever to verify that the ISO hasn't been modified.

2025-12-02T19:06:02.43+00:00 To download Windows 7 for a Virtual Machine, you need to ensure you have a valid license for the operating system. Windows 7 can be installed as a guest operating system in a virtual environment, but you should check the compatibility of your virtualization software with Windows 7. If you are using Windows Virtual PC, it supports various editions of Windows 7 as guest operating systems.
If you acquired Windows 7 through an OEM or as part of a new device, you may need to contact the OEM for support regarding downloading the installation media. Additionally, keep in mind that Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 7, so you may encounter limitations in terms of updates and security.
For installation, you can create a virtual machine using your preferred virtualization software and then use the Windows 7 installation media to set it up. Make sure to configure the virtual machine settings according to the requirements of Windows 7.
