Windows 7 on a new system?

[Yourganked]

What's up guys I've got all the parts together for my new gaming pc and I'm going to start building it this Saturday... I've been reading around about all the new forced updates to 10, recording of personal data, and overall sketchy B.S. Microsoft has been pulling. That being said how can I get Win7 onto my computer without needing to worry about all the things listed above? Please help me out with this I really loved windows 7 and hate needing to deal with windows 8 on my current system and I really don't want to deal with windows 10. Thanks.

Here are my system specs if need

The Windows 10 update is not exactly forced, but it's very pushy. You can just ignore the messages that come up and make sure you don't check it off in the Updates (which I think is a horrible idea to put an OS update in the same area you get security patches and driver updates). The whole Windows 10 upgrade push they are doing, along with the many issues we are seeing on gaming systems and Windows 10 have really soured me on this version of Windows, and MS actions to get people to install it. Me, Vista and 8 may have been bad, but at least they were bad without poping up a spyware message to upgrade to them every day.

Thanks for the reply, How should I go about getting Win7 since I don't have an optical drive? Also I heard there is a program or something that prevents windows 10 from installing on your computer all together, is this true, and do you know what that program is?

It's not easy to get windows 7 anymore. The isos are available if you look. But if you don't want to install windows 10, you can suppress the following windows update:

Do you know anywhere I can find any? I was looking around for hours and only found scams...

I'm with you brother. I got no time to beta-II free for Microsoft and prefer the tried&true. Set you update to manual and as mentioned, pick only the updates you want, and before your next, "I wonder if W10 have gotten better for me to try it again." Do an OS Image Backup so you can simply GO BACK if you don't like it.

If you've got a valid key, I believe this link still works.
