Keeping an ISO file of operating system’s DVDs as a backup in the computer is the second good thing to do where as buying original windows 7 DVD is the first one. If you still haven’t bought an original Windows 7 DVD, you can buy it from here,

Making ISO file from DVD
After you get your windows 7 DVD in your hand, you need a tool. PowerISO is the handy tool that can be used to make ISO files. If you don’t have powerISO installed in your system, you may download and install a latest version from here.
You may use any other tool to make ISO file. If you are a novice better download and install powerISO and follow my instructions. Because in this article I’m going to explain the procedure regarding powerISO tool.
After you download and installed the powerISO tool,
1. Open the powerISO tool either from desktop shortcut( i.e.,created automatically during installation) or from the All Programs ( in case you are using windows vista/7/8) or from the programs( in case you are using XP). When opened it looks like this, ( later or future versions may have different UI).
2. Click on Tools menu and choose Make CD/DVD/BD Image File.
A window will be opened showing the DVD in the DVD ROM and destination file formats. Choose .iso file format and destination of the output file. Then click on OK button to start copying. Wait until the copying completes.
3. After the copying completes, it will be seen like this,
You’re done! .iso image file has been successfully created. You may use this file to make a bootable USB/DVD.
