Windows 10: Jesse's 10 Install

No, there were no issues on the desktop. I downloaded with Internet Explorer. I think the issue was Google Chrome. For some reason, it didn't want to download the software right. I have made an ISO image, and I am about to put it on my Laptop until the full version of 10 comes out. I will empty my messages now. I have been a little busy today. Had to go to town.

 

Did you use the software I suggested ?

What program did you use to burn the iso to dvd.

Did you run it at x4 speed ?

I don`t think it was Chrome that gave you issues on the laptop, I think it`s because you used a wireless connection, if you were plugged in I doubt if the iso would have been corrupted.

I use Chrome for everything *Smile

 

I just copied the ISO file to a blank DVD-R disk.

 

You can`t just copy it Jesse, you have to use burning software.

Burning it makes it bootable, otherwise it`s just a data dvd.

Chuck that dvd in the trash, it`s useless.

You can use windows to burn the disc, but I suggest just using this.

Any questions just ask.

Free ISO Burner

 

It seems to be working though. It's installing Windows on Laptop's VMware player.

 

I guess because you are not booting from it, you are just using the files.

But if you wanted to install it on your pc and do what we call a clean install, you would boot directly from the dvd or a flsh drive when you first turn on the pc.

That`s different from what you`re doing now *Smile

You can read up on it here, while you`re sitting around the fireplace *Tongue

I will probably need to do a clean install on my Laptop whenever the full version of Windows 10 comes out, because it is an older system than my desktop with Windows 8.1. So, I will need assistance on that whenever the time need be.

 

Are you crazy *Shock you have Windows 7 on the laptop don`t you. That would be........ well I just can`t describe it, it borders on insanity.

I can`t allow you to do that Jesse *Redcarded

 

Yes, it has Windows 7 on it. Why can't I do a clean install?

 

I don`t mean you can`t, I`m just saying you shouldn`t.

Windows 7 is the best operating system ever made *Biggrin

 

You are right about that. I will explain to you why I am wanting to do a clean install as soon as it finishes setting up on the VMware Player. But, if you say its not a good idea then I won't do it. But, I will have to find out another way to get Windows 10 on there.

 

You pull the Windows 7 hard drive out, you buy a new hard drive or solid state drive. You install that and you install 10 on that. That`s how you do it.

You do that when you can afford it. Or you upgrade to Windows 10 when it comes out through windows update, but I don`t even recommend that.

Just get another hard drive for the desktop and put windows 10 there, don`t risk the laptop.

Or upgrade 8 on the desktop.

 

Oh! Well, I thought doing a clean install meant removing the Windows 7 software, and then use a Windows 7 ISO to install back on the system.

 

If you ever consider to put W10 on your W7 system, make sure you first make an image of the W7 system. Here is how:
