    "Reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit"

    This is totally confusing to me, what are you talking about ?

    Did you buy a retail or oem version of Windows 7 or not ?

    Why are you using the word upgrade ?

    Please explain.

    Sounds like you just have a bad dvd rom to me.

    If you just need a new install dvd then download the iso file from here and burn to dvd at no faster then x4 speed, using this simple program. (or just use windows)

    Yep that code finder is very similar to the Magic Jelly Bean in Brinks tutorial one and gives the same results only all at once - better idea:)

    The burner is good too Jumanji put me onto that one.

    I`ve been posting that burner program for years John :)

    I personally use PowerIso, but that`s not free.

    Yes mate I never knew it was there to be honest always fiddled around with ImgBurn which I still find a bit convoluted and the YouTubes on it go too fast

    I gave up on reinstalling Windows 7 and just installed Windows 10. I wanted to reinstall Windows because the PC had gotten slow and seemed to lock up a lot lately. I like Windows 10 better than 8.1 that came on the laptop. I may end up doing a complete clean install of Windows 10 when I can find the time. Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I didn't mark this solved because I never solved my original problem, I just found a work around.

    I'm still trying to figure out what Windows 7 DVD you were using and where did you get it.

    Why did you give up ? I gave you the means to create a Windows 7 install dvd and you said you have a key so........ Why resort to Windows 10 ?

    And you could have just as easily created a usb installer.

    How did you install 10 ? Through windows upate ?

    Yep I believe just with installing from a 10 iso file you can finally activate win-10 with a oem or other qualifying os activation key
    There's no need to live through the upgrade process anymore.

    The DVD disk I used was from Dell, it is labeled 'Operating System Already Installed on your Computer Reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit'. My PC shipped with Vista, 2 years ago I purchased this DVD which has a product key on the package. I used this DVD to install Windows 7.
