Can I make a recommendation?

You can download a legal copy of Windows 7 here - obviously download the correct ISO that was originally on your laptop (Home Premium 64 bit) and use the product key on the base of your laptop.

This will give you a legal, malware free copy. You can then partition the drive as you see fit.

Thank you for your recommendation! Really appreciate it, unfortunately the link doesn't work (I know it is not your fault). It reaches about less than 1gb and "unknown network error" occurs. I've tried another msoft link but bad luck again. Can you dig another Proper version of win 7 home so I'll stop bothering you Thank you in advance!

That's strange - it worked for me just now. Perhaps their server was down when you tried!

Just to be sure, copy & paste the below link into your browser (or try clicking it now!):

Then click on the second one down (which is Windows 7 Home Premium X64) - this would have been the version that shipped with your laptop.

I've tried on 3 different PC's and still http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso doesn't work. It stops about 949mb ..........

OK, I will try downloading it myself, to see if I get the same problem. It might be the site that has a problem....

There is another link here that should work.

Just to advise, that the first link I gave you - the one you had problems with worked OK for me. It was though a little slow, but it downloaded completely....

Ok, nevermind I've donwloaded the same version of the win 7 home from torrent site. It worked flawlessly. Unfortunately there is AWFUL SUPPORT from Acer. The drivers don't work properly. Keyboard shortcuts are not working. Wi-fi drivers not working ... NC

I'd imagine that is the "copy" you've download from the torrent site. Acer drivers work fine!

If there was any problems with them, them would have been taken down by now...

I admire your patience! I've tried to download the win 7 home from the official microsoft site - unlucky. I need to use the laptop, what should I do when I can't download the version from the official site - I'd try to find the same version from torrent sites right? Your words are logical, but my laptop Ain't. I have issues with wi-fi drivers, video card drivers and the keyboard. Sometimes it just starts "pressing ".""

Perhaps it's me. If I was in your situation, I would never use a torrent site for an OS. I would buy a new, safe licenced copy.

But as I've said: That is me!

Do you mean that the "." key is repeating? All the time or only when it is pressed?
