Does anyone have the checksums for the ISOs, so I can just checksum them from a terminal window, save having to mess around with the linked application?
I would as well be still using win 7 however with my audio system the way it is Atmos is needed and doesn’t properly work when connected to a PC.
The 8350 is a awesome cpu…love it to death
I only bothered downloading the 64-bit Home.

Thanks @MattiP.
I’ve done a bit of digging myself and I’ve found a website that supposedly has the once publicly available hashes (via Microsoft’s TechNet and MSDN websites) for 114,610 files - https://files.rg-adguard.net/
I’ve hashed the downloads link in @H-i-v-e’s original post, using sha1 and sha256, and cross-checked them on the website. All the checksums match.
Here are the checksums in question.

When I was locating the .deb for Microsoft Teams that used to exist I had to go through the Microsoft FTP server. I am sure they might actually have these ISOs stored there as well. I will try to find them and if I do I will provide a wget link. I needed something to do this weekend anyways.

Let the games begin
I understand that if a program is designed to use the new features of a new OS, than you must switch to that new OS to use that program. The best example of that being games that use DX12 requiring win10(yes, MS did backport some of DX12 to win7 for a handful of uber-popular games of the day, but I’m not counting that).
It’s the programs that have no legitimate reason to require the newest OS that piss me off. The best example I know of being TurboTax. I had to use my previous system to install win10 on just so I could do my taxes, while we all know that there is nothing in win10 that is required to run a program like Turbotax. FFS, the newest version of Total Commander STILL supports every version of windows back to win95!!! You can’t possibly have bigger differences between OSes than the win95 kernal and win11, and having fat32 for the file system versus ntfs(although of course I know win10-11 can use fat32).
The links aren’t the problem; people have said they are still able to download them now. The problem appears to be I am not using wget properly. I tried running it from a normal command prompt and an admin command prompt and both give me a 404 error.
I wanted to respond to your FX-8350 comment separately. I built my system sometime between 2012-2014 and paid $140 for my FX-8350 new from newegg. When the AMD lawsuit was over and the details of how to file for a refund were disclosed I jumped on it immediately. They were giving owners of the octacore cpus $30 refunds, which is WAY more than any other class action lawsuit I have ever heard of. But for some bizarre reason, they didn’t require people to mail in copies of receipts or provide any kind of proof. Then to make it even more bizarre, you could claim up to 4 cpus without proof! If you had bought 5 or more THEN you had to provide proof. So I did what anyone with more than a two digit IQ would do, I submitted a claim for 4. They sent me a check for $120, making the cost of my FX-8350 $20. You never got a better CPU deal than that! Except I did! 3-6 months later I got a second check for $7; the only explanation I can think of is not enough people filed claims, so whatever money was left in the fund was divided up among those who did file claims and distributed. So now my $140 CPU only cost $13! And has been running 24/7 since I built it. I have a Coolermaster 212+ EVO on it with 2 120mm fans in push-pull. I have never overclocked it. In fact I have the BIOS settings all on normal settings like cool n quiet is enabled, the C6 state or whatever that turns off cores that aren’t in use is enabled, and windows is set to “balanced” instead of performance. It normally runs in the 30s C and when all 8 cores are at 100% it runs 55-60C. And the only program I can think of that does that is MultiPar which I don’t have to use very often. Playing a high bitrate 4K video with my other usual programs running will cause all 8 cores to be used, but it doesn’t spike all of them to 100%.
Mine is clocked heavily.
Cpu 4.9 with also a hyper cooler like yours(I just don’t play demanding games)
Ram gskill 2133 taken to 2455 with tight timings
Ssd,3070, and a Asus sabertooth 990fx rev 2 board.
Best computer I have ever had and not a single issue with it.
If you aren’t using it for gaming, why are pushing so much current through the CPU, reducing it’s lifespan and increasing your electric bill? I know that practically every FX-8350 can hit 4.5GHz at least. But why would I want my system running at 4.5GHz on all 8 cores 24/7 when 90% of the time it’s using like 25% of 4 cores? BTW, it’s nice to see that win7 was programed to use 1 CPU from each module, only loading down the second core on a module when more than 4 are needed. BTW, my system specs are:
FX-8350 on a Gigabyte FXA-UD3-R5, 32GB of Kingston Fury 1866 ram(which is the most the mobo can handle), AMD R7 360(it only has 2GB or GDDR5, but the only gaming I ever do on it is MAME so it’s plenty), 3 2TB Crucial MX500 SATA SSDs, Samsung 840 EVO 240GB SSD as boot drive(these 4 drives are in a 5.25" to 4x2.5" drive bay converter), and a mix of 1 and 2TB HDDs. I have a PCIe card with multiple SATA ports since obviously the mobo doesn’t have enough. My mobo has 2 eSATA ports which I use to connect the ~half-dozen 1TB Fantom external HDDs I bought over several years from the old Buy.com site when they were on sale.
Of course I want to build a nice new Ryzen system one day. Just a regular 8 core CPU since the x3D models are slower when it comes to non-gaming tasks. 64GB ram will be needed since I often come close to using all 32GB on my current system. And I’d like to learn video editing.
Gaming isn’t the end all or be all for my computer. While I enjoy gaming from time to time I also enjoy doing other things with the PC and learning overclocking was on of those things. The most demanding games I ran was Baldur’s Gate 3.
Besides my cpu is only at 1.39 volts(it’s a golden cpu) and it has been running at that for quite some time. If it works eventually it does I have a another system ryzen(bought before) for when it does.

This is super timely - I am in my journey to collect all of the pre-W10 games for archival… and use! (sucks paying a subscription and get telemetry collected for Solitaire)
