My laptop is originally a Windows 7 laptop but it currently runs on Linux which is an easy way to get Windows back
it is useful if you have a Windows 7 System Recovery CD / DVD
Windows 7 no longer has support since February 2020.
Will probably result in a commercially available 8 or 10 series.
And if you have a recovery CD, I don't think you can use it to reinstall.
All you need effectively is to know whether your lapi x86 or x64 is completely legal to load a win10 iso at microsoft and you can press it with rufus or something on USB. The only thing you need would be a win10 key (had to buy). Then plug in the USB boot, install it, enter the key and you're done. (Your linux data may be lost and it is recommended that you format your internal disk to fat32 in between. Otherwise the setup can zick around because it is still too stupid to see and remove the Linux partitions.
Yes, it is even an advantage. Throw the CD in and boot from it, and then reinstall Windows. During the installation you will be asked where you want to install Windows. Delete the entire disk and create a new partition.
If it is the recovery disk of the device, then you can use it. Otherwise you need your own.
Why not please I can also install Windows 95 if I want. Nobody prevents me.
Stay on Linux! If you do an IT training you will quickly become a good boy among the teachers! I'm still one of the unruly people who still have Windows.
Windows 7 key is also possible for Windows 10 (with reservation, without guarantee, without guarantee, etc.). But first make a backup on FAT32 formatted memory! And write down a list of programs that are important to you.
Doesn't it matter if this cd is from another pc?
No, if this CD was purchased in combination with a computer, it has its own system-specific drivers.
Nobody is stopping you. It is just not recommended to install Windows 7 because support has expired. What do you want with Windows 95? Sure, you might be able to install it, but you won't really benefit from it…
I would recommend you just stick with Linux.
The sentence "I would recommend that you just stick with Linux." please do not pay attention, fell asleep while writing, thought you are the questioner.
All good 🙂 It was only because you wrote that a new installation was not possible 🙂
Stay healthy
The new installation is in my opinion. Not possible from a recovery. This is about the source and not the age of the OS.
Oh… I just feel a little stupid (I should go to sleep) Well, thank you for your understanding.
greeting
How can i do without this cd, free of charge?
