[Lightner, Jeff]

Typically there is a way for you to burn your own media from the installed system but you’re only allowed to do that once.

not when they can charge for them....

the below link is great for the media, but you will still need your
KEY/Serial to activate it..
All these Windows 7 ISO’s come with SP1 integrated in them and have a 30
day trial period. Once installed, you can use your Original windows 7
key to activate your windows 7 installation.
OEM doesn't need that..
