Windows 7 Installation Hang up. Should I Re-Install?

0
0
Hello, I've read through a couple of Windows 7 installation threads, but none that I've seen have the same result. I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit because my computer was stuck in a reboot loop when the Windows icon appeared. Sometimes it would boot after three tries, sometimes eight, sometimes none at all. System repair could never repair it, so I decided to just go from scratch...

Upgrade to 10 from 7 goes in circles

I formatted a old laptop HDD and put W10 on it using their media creation tool downloaded onto a USB. It worked fine except that I installed W10 pro and not W10 Home and it would not let me activate the new W10 because you have to upgrade compatible versions. It knew I had W7 home from my W7 product key. So I reformatted the HDD and tried again but this time I end up at the message: 'The...

Well, I’m afraid I’ve made a mess of my desktop system (Dell XPS 9100 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit). Replacing the HDD in my laptop with an SSD went so smoothly I bought another SSD for the desktop. I made a complete backup of the HDD with Win 7 backup and restore, and also made an image file of the drive. The backup is on the NAS on my network. I installed the SSD physically in the computer but did not...

If I do a clean install should I use the original Restore discs I created when the PC was new & use the original Key, & then...
