    Hey everyone, I can't seem to find a UK 7pro SP1 download and the key I received with the M15X is for a UK version. Everyone out there assumes there is only one type of English and of course the US version is everywhere but I can't use my legal key on that one.

    I have been working around that issue for years now but will want to upgrade to 10 when it releases and since I have a valid key I was hoping to get a legal window 7 installation going again (since Microsoft are using some god awful upgrade process)..

    Any tips would be much appreciated, thanks :)

    Where in UK are you based? I recently did a fresh install of Win 7 from my original CD that came with my laptop. Have to download all the updates to get upto SP1 but I also failed to find a UK 64-bit copy of Win 7. I can post my CD to you as long as you'll return it.

    Have you tried contacting DELL support in the UK? They could be able to provide one.

    Thanks bro, that's okay. I'm in the Netherlands at this moment so it wouldn't be convenient for you. I will contact dell and ask them, just wondering if there was still any legal way to download a UK Pro ISO.. Thanks!

    I can make an ISO from my original win 7 CD and upload it for you. Want to do that anyway in case I lose my CD. Give me a few days and I'll send you a PM with link to download.
