I'm seeing quite a few sites saying that the ISOs located at http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net are safe/legit/legal.

Ex: http://www.windows7hacker.com/index.php/2009/11/download-retail-windows-7-iso-from-official-website/

Can I use these on a fresh new hard drive, and then use a crack/loader to become genuine/activated?

Not that I support cracking\hacktivating software, Yes if you do use a loader on a fresh install of W7 it will work

I would get a dual-boot with Linux just to be safe and only use Windows if you need it for games. :)

No it won't. Not since the release of Windows 8. On MDL lately all the posts are: "Omg.. loader no worky anymore..".


KB971033 has to be uninstalled first before any loader can work. Including Cody's. You never had to do this before.

Msft link is an official iso.
