I have a Lenovo computer that comes with a TON of bloatware and am replacing the Hard Drive with an SSD drive. I would like to install a clean Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit using the same Key that I already have, but I can not find a working download link for the Windows 7 SP1 x64 ISO file... Please point me in the right direction so that I can get this accomplished...
Thanks..

I thought you had figured it out yourself. At least, that's what you wrote in your previous thread.
I assume that 'the Lenovo OEM contains 3 ISO files' means that you've downloaded 3 ISO files from Lenovo that have been described as what you need to restore your laptop to its 'factory conditions.'

You can use Rufus with the first ISO file to create a bootable USB flash drive. If your laptop can boot from a USB flash drive (which as I recall from the previous thread might not be the case), you can then use this flash drive to install Windows.
After you've done that, use an 'archiver' application -- I recommend 7-zip (it's free and quite versatile) -- to extract the contents of the two 'data' ISO files to new folders (one for each ISO file) on the USB flash drive (assuming that it has sufficient space).

I have an ISO file for installing Microsoft Office 2010 and I want to include that on the same flash drive. The Office DVD isn't bootable.
