mac - Install Windows on a MacBook Prod legally




I have a MacBook pro retina, and I want to buy and install a Windows 7 on (in a bootcamp partition and/or virtualized via VirtualBox). However, I do not know how to get it legally in a non-physical format.



I could buy the Windows box in a store, but it has a DVD, and my Mac does not have DVD player. Thus, this is not an option.



I cannot find any Windows distribution in a USB drive or a way to download a ISO legally.



My question is where can I buy a Windows license and use it for my Mac.



In other companies and there is a place to download the ISO or installers that you already paid for. For example IBM with PassportAdvantage, or Oracle with OTN.


Answer




What Jamie says is quite right. To buy the key, you can use Sofway who will send you the key and download links via email. They are perfectly legit, I'm not from them but have used them in the past.



EDIT: Alternatively just install windows 7 by using the links above, then when it asks for product key in the setup, just press enter, which will give you a 30 day trial. Then after the install, windows will ask you to buy windows 7, and take you to their website.
