No Windows 7 isn't free.
What version are ya after?
Also Windows 8 is going to generally be cheaper as its the "newest" version of Windows.

What are you running it on?
Ubuntu is a pretty decent version of Linux that'll run a whole ton of stuff and is really easy to use!
Best of all, it's free!

Hi Elmoinc im using Windows 7 home and basic and that is really good for minecrafting and genral computer use
Windows 8 isant as good for gaming and it dosent have the start icon ect

And Yes you can download Windows 7 but you have to burn it to a disk

The full release of Windows 8 is actually better for gaming than Windows 7, it's not worth the upgrade though for 1-2 FPS extra.

And yes you can download it, but you need to have a serial which will activate Windows 7, which you need to purchase.

Not that I know of it being free. But you can get them on pendrives. Known as an ISO file.

Its not free, it costs something like a hundred bucks. Pirating software be bad. If you don't activate the software after 30 days, it will kill itself...or delete something...and then it won't boot...or something...but it won't work ...

Not only if you know how to pirate them and crack it properly
