Windows 7 Installation Issues (PLEASE HELP)
Hello. I need some help. Please forgive me if i sound stupid. I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on my PC.
I can give you some background info, I have a Dell Inspirion that came with Windows 7 64 & 32 installed. Last year I ended up getting viruses on my PC, I had it cleaned and fixed. The person that repaired my PC wiped everything (Dell backup, factory reset etc) (at the time I didn't like that the Dell backup option was gone, but nothing could be done). Now about a few months ago, I ended up getting another virus, Windows Essential and Offender could not remove the virus. I was able to get the PC without any issues, but I did not want to pay bills online, sign into accounts etc.
I ended up downloding and installing Windows 8 Evaulations from Microsoft. After the PC restarted I ended up getting a signature error message. I tried the system restore option that did not work. I even backed up my boyfriend's PC (that is a Dell Inspirion) to try to restore, factory reset and etc. That did not work.
I purchased Windows 7 repair/reinstall disk that did not work. Whenever I try to reisntall Windows 7, the system complete the reinstallation process, the PC restarts and go back to Installation Screen (Language, Time & Currency, & Keyboard input). Did it a few times, same outcome.
Now I purchase an official Windows 7 64 and 32 bit discs. I have the product key for the Windows 7 that came with my PC when I first purchased. And the same with my boyfriend's PC. When I tried to install Windows 7 64 bit, the PC restarts and back to the Installation Screen.
I've tried to format the partition then install Windows 7 64 bit, nothing happens. Once the PC restarts it goes back to Installation Screen. I've looked online, and forums trying to get the PC to install Windows 7. Nothing works.
Please help, I can provide any information on my PC, if you can give me the steps or how to get the needed info.
(I'm using a laptop to post this on the forums.) Sorry if I posted in the wrong thread, and/or did something stupid.
Please help!
Thanks.
