    Reinstall Win 10 onto Win 7


    A computer glitch during a download (in Win 10) required that the only way to start up ( I tried several programs that wouldn't work-Intermediate to advanced
    user). The recovery loaded the original Win 7. I had loaded Win 10 free during appropriate time period. Is there away to get Win 10 to reload free. (Does MS maintain any info that would allow this?)

    :)

    Hard drive does not appear for Win 10 Install

    Yes, I was able to install Win 10 onto a new HD. I was unable to reinstall Win 10 onto the original HD, unfortunately.

    Installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive

    How would I reinstall win 7, it came with my laptop, there's no disc or anything?

    Is it possible to just directly install win 10 through the flash drive that I used to install onto my faulty HD?

    Is the diagnosing error a problem with win 10 or is it my HD? And I installed win 10 using my flash drive, which my BIOS doesn't detect.

    Reinstall Win 10 onto Win 7

    If your Win10 was Activated then Yes, Microsoft maintains a digital licensing database. I'd try getting the MCT/Media Creation Tool and running it to get either an .iso download or create a bootable USB Thumb drive to reinstall Win10. Use a minimum 8GB drive, everything on it will be lost during the formatting. I can't get the correct link as I'm on a macOS just now but a Search on the 'net for Media Creation Tool will bring up some choices.
