Where can I find a signed Windows 7 image for VirtualBox?

I just want to play Magic the Gathering Online. I need it for nothing else. It runs like ass under WINE and even Proton. So if there is any other way I can do this, without going the nuclear option, I don"t even need to setup a VM for it.

archive.org is an exceptionally good source for finding OS ISO images.

Here's one for Windows 7. According to the description and comments below, it is a clean disk image of the installer.

Update: A warning to everyone checksum does not match.

  • Calculated SHA-1 : 6e1cdc8612aa4872a3561c02dc2e5513ec9109ea
  • Expected SHA-1: 36AE90DEFBAD9D9539E649B193AE573B77A71C83
  • or 0BCFC54019EA175B1EE51F6D2B207A3D14DD2B58
  • or 6C9058389C1E2E5122B7C933275F963EDF1C07B9

it was somewhat expected, the uploader stated that it's an ISO they made with a software of an installer DVD. 😄

Have you tried just googling for the checksums? I googled the 36AE... one and the first hit was an archive.org download for a matching ISO.

Thank you, I will verify the checksum after downloading.
