Win 7 downgrade gone wrong
Hi guys, i hope that you can help me. I have windows 7 Ultimate N x64, it is a bootleg version, i just bought genuine windows 7 ultimate which is NOT N version. I tried to activate my win 7 ultimate N but activation said key was valid for Ultimate only & not N. It then said run the setup file.
I then tried to run the setup from my USB and before doing so i found a tutorial online that said to delete a file i think called Ef.cfg or something like that, it was contained in the sources folder, the reason for deleting this file was so that upon going to setup page i would be presented with a list of versions of win 7 that i could choose from. I did the above, got to the install page, picked win 7 ultimate, clicked next, it started installing, i went for a shower and came back and i had a message about an error, i did not pay full attention to the error but it failed to install. The pc tried to reboot but now i get presented with a screen that says repair or something along those lines. I tried to repair it but it failed.
I know i'm doing a bad job of all the messages, but i will shortly post a video of what happens.
I do NOT have an installation disk or usb, i am still using the bootlegged usb to try and fix this. If i need to download a different install iso please let me know.
I have or rather did have my win 7 installed on an ssd if that is of any help.
