Solved How do I make a system repair disc for windows 7, if i don't have 7?

[cathode12]

Hello, i have a laptop that is having the Status: 0xc000000f boot up error. I have scouted this forum and found this thread: Boot Manager Status 0xc000000f, boot selection failed. Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums

But I have a problem, I no longer have windows 7. All the computers in my house are windows 10, except my laptop that runs 7. About last year, my family had a mass exodus to window 10 from 7, so I am unable to make a disc for windows 7. I am confused, as in the control panel > backup and restore (windows 7) it has window 7 in parentheses, so i was under the assumption it would make a windows 7 system recovery disc, but it made a windows 10 disc. I am stumped on what to do, how else can i get the windows 7 system recovery disc?

Hi! thanks for responding, but the disc that i made from following those steps prior, says "for windows 10" and i need it for windows 7. I don't see an option to make if for 7

You must be able to boot into Windows 7.

Can you boot your laptop with Windows 7 into Windows 7?

Does your laptop have any other operating systems installed?

no, it brings up this: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet and there is an option to "start normally" but just brings me back to this page. I can't get access at all to the laptop. I know I have to make a recovery disc, but no computer i have runs window 7

sorry, didn't see your post! so are these the windows 7 system recovery files? do i just drop them into a blank CD/ROM?

 

[SIW2]

yes, burn the iso to disc using disc burner built in to win10.

thanks! how do i burn it? i dragged and dropped the file into the CD/ROM but it didn't do anything, what does mount mean?

 

[SIW2]

download the file on a win7 or win 10 machine.

Rt click the iso file and your rt click menu will offer an option to burn the iso to disc.

( It will also an option to mount - not relevant for this.)

Do not try and copy it o a disc.

Yep this would also work.
I should of thought that.
SIW2 has all kinds of things like this tucked away.
Sorry for my brain fart.

Try MS windows system recovery tools first.

Under the start menu All Programs in MS folder. Run Recenv

oh thank my lucky stars! it worked! it took a while, but it worked beautifully, and everything seems to be in place. some things aren't working right, like avast! UI isn't working, but maybe i just have to reinstall, or restart. i'll worry about that later, but it worked! thanks alot for your help
