Windows 7 ISO acronyms and meanings

In this post I want to write every single mark or “flag” in the name or description of an Windows 7 ISO so its easier to understand what you are downloading.

Note : Its illegal for me to share their ISOs or provide you with keys but I am allowed to tell you how and where to find them, its up to you if you want to pull the trigger or not.
