I purchased the download version of Windows 7, can I get a cd for it somehow?
My college offered students Windows 7 for $30, so I purchased it. At the time, I did not mind it being in download form. However, now I need to add another hard drive and use the three hard drives with RAID (basically combine the hard drives into one). The download version didn’t come with an iso or anything to burn on a cd for boot-time installation. All I have is the Windows 7 installer and key. If I install it now as is, I won’t be able to set up my RAID. I need a cd of this, is there any way to get a cd without paying the full price for another copy of Windows 7 since I have it already?
You can convert what you’ve downloaded to a bootable disc:

Or you can download a bootable version directly:
