I'm in the exact same boat brotha! New machine was ready to go yesterday but my disc wouldn't work. Main comp had HDD failure so its dead so I couldn't make my own bootable win7 USB. New state, new friends don't have PCs oddly, just like phones and shit and I also thought they needed to have Win 7 pro but that was wrong.
Anyway, computer store nearby let me use a machine for a bit. Their connection sucked royally so I came home, found a torrent app for my phone after I found this post, went back and made the USB. Worked perfectly!
Installed Win 7 Pro perfectly, took my key, and I am upgrading to 10 because fuck it, its a new computer, it should feel like one. I have a valid Windows 7 Pro key, and that site would not let me download the ISO. Apparently because I have a refurbished PC. I read on that if you have OEM Windows (as on a refurbished PC) that you cannot download ISOs from that site using your valid product key. Specifically:What about OEM?OEM and SB customers can't get their software through the recovery centre. However, Microsoft will send you a replacement disk instead. A small processing fee applies.In case your OEM product is not eligible for a replacement disk, we suggest you get in touch with Microsoft customer care.
Last time I downloaded ISO images from Digital River they had the following file names:Windows 7 Home Premium 32Bit: X17-58996.isoWindows 7 Home Premium 64Bit: X17-58997.isoWindows 7 Professional 32Bit: X17-59183.isoWindows 7 Professional 64Bit: X17-59186.isoWindows 7 Ultimate 32Bit: X17-59463.isoWindows 7 Ultimate 64Bit: X17-59465.isoThere are many references with MD5SUM values available on internet and I believe the only way to get those ISO files is to search by file name on torrent sites. Officially, the only legit place to download it now is from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Centre.This portal is provided by Microsoft and anyone who opens a Microsoft Volume License agreement with them is given access to it. The IT Administrator of the company you work for would have login credentials. This portal provides access to all of the license keys as well as downloads for all of the products that you have licensed, which would include older OS like Windows 7.If you have a corporate key and you are authorized to use it, then you should also have these login credentials.
Or, you should know who the IT administrator of your company is who DOES have those credentials, and they can download the ISO for you.
Download the (it works for Windows 8 too) and get either a blank DVD or a USB. Use the tool to make the USB bootable if you're using a USB and then load a bootable version of Windows 8 onto the aforementioned USB or DVD. In theory, it's a really simple process.
In reality, I've done this at least four times now and the level of difficulty has ranged from extremely easy to so ridiculously riddled with problems that it takes me hours. If you're lucky, you'll encounter the former.
A quick piece of advice to circumvent a possible issue; if using a USB then don't plug the stick into a USB 3.0 (the blue port) slot. I don't know why, but it messes up the installation. Also a quick warning; if there's any data on the storage drive on your new PC, installing a clean Windows 8 install will wipe all your data, so back up your important files on your new PC, if there are any, first. What type of file are you downloading?
You should've gotten a product key from them as well. You can really go anywhere to acquire a copy of Windows 8 for free and legally, iirc. Specifically, you could even go onto the pirate bay and legally get a free copy of Windows 8 from there. It's just the product key that you need to pay for or legally acquire in some other fashion. So if the file you're downloading right now is not an ISO (for example, it's an.exe), you can just download the ISO with the Win 7 USB tool and just use your provided product key.

Then I chose install by creating media-USB flash drive. After this, I checked my USB and found several files in it. But no.iso file. Does that mean my USB is ready?
Or I still need to convert some files? I gave it a try on my old laptop. But there was no USB device found when I tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS! I could however install it by clicking on setup once the laptop was fully switched on ( logging into windows 7,etc). Can someone help me out in that as my new PC will not be having any OS pre-installed so that option may not be there for me.( Forgive me if I misused any technical term or wasn't clear enough). The ISO file would not be on your CD, and ISO is collective files on a cd all put into one file for easy saving/copying.

What you see on the usb drive should be the correct.Try it on the proper desktop. You will need to plug the usb drive in, power on computer and go into bios, then under hard drive priority you will set the usb and #1, and then go to boot priority and set the hard drive as the first boot priority.

Your board could call these menus something different so you will have to consult your motherboard manual.
