Hey!

This is on a friend's behalf. he is having a Dell laptop which came preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. He has the key of the windows but he has lost the installation CD and he wants to format the system due to some issues and want to reinstall Windows? Could he download Windows 7 home premium iso from torrent and then insert his key will it work? If not suggest alternative. Contacting dell is of no use as they are asking for Rs 300/- for a new CD and he dont wanna spend this amount until there is no other alternative.

Could he download Windows 7 home premium iso from torrent and then insert his key will it work?

Yes. But make sure you download the Windows 7 SP1 integrated version from MS.

But Rs. 300 for an Original DVD aint a bad deal either

Do one thing, pay Rs. 699 and upgrade to Windows 8

So many options are infront of you
