Hi, You would need to boot off the first recovery disk (i.e, put the disk in the drive, reboot and press the key when asked). There will be no speech during this phase unfortunately. When you boot off the recovery disks you will need to follow the recovery process. This will wipe the hard drive and will return the machine to Windows 7. Once you get the Windows desktop back up in Windows 7, you can run the media creation tool to get the latest Windows 10 DVD and upgrade to that. If you have a Windows 10 DVD already made from the media creation tool, you can use that. It will download the updates as part of the upgrades. Once you have a system with an upgraded and activated Windows 10 installation, if you want you can do a clean installation of Windows 10 from the same DVD, wiping the hard drive, and never need go back to the Windows 7 again. This is what I had to do on a laptop I had an old MSDN copy of Windows 8 on, and I wanted the clean install as I didn't want the rubbish left on their by the OEM as part of the recovery disks. As you have posted exactly the same message to the BCAB list also, I think this topic should finish in this list now and continue on the BCAB list as it is more on topic there. Good luck, Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Marvin Hunkin [startrekcafe@gmail.com] Sent: 20 August 2015 12:10 To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] windows 7 Hi. Yes, did create the recovery disks, and yes have legal keys and came with windows 7. So yes, got the dvds, so might just have to go back there and maybe install. So, Is there a tool to do this.
