Updated to W10Pro after a short time enjoying it stopped to fix and restart, over and over.
Decided for Clean install of W10Pro, started fine then cashed and rebooted over and over. Turned off PC
In haste did a clean install of Linux Mint 17.2 cinnamon, calmed down some and remembered that I have original disc and key for W7Pro "upgrade" from Vista.
Inserted disc to pc with Linux on it, clicked .exe that is inside the disc and get an error message. Cannot continue to install Upgrade.
How can I get my W7Pro installed ( I assume that's what I need to do ) with Linux.
My objective: To work my way back to W10Pro.
Thanks

Thanks, that was the right answer with the ISO image on a DVD. Booted from DVD and installed but after a couple of hrs using W10 it crashed again 'CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT'.

Thanks for the good advise but I have to take a brake from trying W10. I have re-installed my W7Pro with which I have been very happyt
