WTB-Windows 7 operating system discs

Anyone have some discs that could be used to "upgrade" Momz brick from the current Vista machine? She has an IBM clone. Doesn't want to buy a new machine as she now has a iPhone 6.....

If she has internet access, can't she download a newer version for free?

I have Dell factory installer disk images somewhere. I think I can get the non dell disks too. Do you have a license key?

A newer version of Vista? The reason I want to get her 7...it's idjut proof and all the browers still support it. W/10 sucks donkey balls.
Firefox, Chrome, IE dropped Vista.

I didn't know the upgrades are done. It was over a year ago that I did the free upgrade to W/10
My computer went from terrible to better than new...couldn't be happier with W/10

What version of 7?

I have some extra keys.

I collect old hardware that people dispose of for the license stickers.

I reinstalled XP on an old computer. I needed to grab video off an old camcorder that Win 10 did not recognize. Instead of finding old disks, I was able to download a ISO file of the install disk and make my own. Not sure if this is possible with Win 7.

I have a stick that will dual boot mine so I have been testing this and it works great.
