Found Windows 7 En-US recovery media for T440p
Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2025 10:40 am
Hi everyone,
I recently got a T440p (i5 processor + Geforce 730M GPU) and it came with a factory install of Windows 7 Professional on it with no user-installed software at least from what I can tell. I used the Create Recovery Media tool in the start menu to flash a USB thumbdrive, and I made a .img file of the USB using GNOME Disk Utility on Linux so other people can use it. My question is, am I allowed to upload this image file for people here to download or is it considered piracy to be sharing this media? If needed, I can also make DVD recovery media but I don't have any blank DVDs now so I'll have to get some before I can do that. I would be happy to clarify anything, and thanks for responding in advance
