Where do I download Windows 7 (legally from Microsoft)?

I recently bought a new HP laptop with windows 7 home premium x64 and as many of you know, HP is horrible when it comes to preinstalled bloatware so I'd like to wipe everything clean and install a fresh copy of windows 7 home premium x64.

The problem is that the laptop did not ship with windows installation DVD.
So, where can get the windows setup legally?
I mean, I already have the key on the windows genuine sticker on my laptop. I just need to obtain the setup legally.

You are legally entitled to reinstall your windows installation if you have a key you bought. In this case you bought it with your laptop. Although you cannot install a different OS legally until you have a key. Keep in mind you can only activate 5 times before you have to call microsoft.

This provides links to ISO's . Please note, these are NOT tested by myself but appear to be genuine.

You could always ask to borrow a friends copy and use that.
