I have finished my new build choosing the ASUS Z170-a MOBO. Naturally I am now having problems activating Windows 10.
I was told by support to reinstall Windows 7 and upgrade again or purchase an expensive license.
I have my product key for Win 7 and a new SSD.
I also have the Windows 7 ISO on a separate HDD.
My DVD drive is now on the fritz and I do not have a large enough USB.
I would like to install Windows 7 directly from the ISO on my HDD to my SSD and then add the proper USB 3.0 drivers to the Win 7 install.
I will not be upgrading to Win 10 again, so when all is done I will remove it from my HDD and use it for storage.
The SSD will need to become my boot C: drive.
Any help in getting this done will be greatly appreciated.
