Satellite C850 - Where can I get and Win7 istallation .iso from?

Question

Hi guys,
I've searched around and found lots of threads, but haven't actually found a solution.
I bought C850 with Win7-64-home-premium preinstalled for my wife.
First I wanted to decline Microsoft EULA and claim money back for Win7 licence, but I thought its only 50 or 60 quid, and I might want it once a year so I left it as is.
First impression - its Terrible slow !!!
I have an old NB100, with Atom and 2GB RAM running Linux witch I use from time to time when I work on the move and this old tiny netbook is A LOT faster then my new C850 with i3 and 8GB of RAM. I mean A LOOOOOT faster.
Then I run Mint Live-CD and then I saw how fast C850 can be if only given real operating system instead of Microsofts crapware.
Then I installed WIn7-64-professional and there was a BIG difference. It wasn't nowhere near as fast as on Linux Mint, but it was whole lot better then original install.
That was only to check how it goes on clean install. I do not have licence for Win7-pro for C850 and I have not even a slightest intention of paying for something as useless as Win7. People should be paid for all the suffering caused by Win7.
On the other hand I would gladly pay for Linux Mint and in fact I have made a nice donation to the project not long time ago :)
Conclusion - slowdown was casued by Toshiba bloatware (which is completely not needed for proper operation of laptop!) and all the other stuff like McAfee or Nero.
I've tried to do reinstall but the reinstalled Win7 comes with all this bloatware and I need clean Win7 install.
To cut short answers like "install and delete waths not needed" - that doesn't solve the problem for two reasons:
1) if install and delete, a lot of stuff stays on the system, registry entries, lots of files etc
2) I need and .iso of Win7, so I can slipstream few things and get rid of WHOLE LOT of useless things
Where can I get and istallation .iso from ?
I mean clean Win7 without all that Toshiba bloatware, McAfee, Nero and other rubbish.
Mind you, I purchased a laptop with Win7 licence so I do have LEGAL RIGHT to use Win7 on its own.
Any hint VERY MUCH appreciated.
Thank you.

On this forum you can find a lot of similar threads where people write about the same experience. We can discuss about this theme for days but the conclusion is always the same: new notebooks are delivered with recovery image that contains OS, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities, additional software and some stuff that nobody needs.
Nobody force notebook owners to use recovery image like this. What you must do is OS optimizing. Remove all software you dont need, disable auto start for all not important stuff and check Windows settings. I do the same all the time and there is big difference how notebook runs, especially start-up time will be much shorter. On this forum you can find very interesting threads about that.
So my advice for you is to install recovery image again and optimize it. The performance will be OK and your wife will have nice piece of hardware for everyday work.
> 1) if install and delete, a lot of stuff stays on the system, registry entries, lots of files etc
Everything can be removed but if you dont do this it is definitely not so critical for notebook performance.
> 2) I need and .iso of Win7, so I can slipstream few things and get rid of WHOLE LOT of useless things
At first, you will not find iso file anywhere and slipstreaming will not work at all. You cannot unbundle recovery image and use parts that you need. It doesnt work on this way.
I just hope you have created recovery disc before you have started your testing phase.
