Which disk do I install Windows on?

I had installed Windows 10 and need to go back to 7.

I know the logical answer but I want to be 100% certain.

Clicking on the photo should turn it the right way.

How? That would be preferable. It was many years ago. Recovery partion does not work. Lenovo machine.

Not sure was an update. I believe it was a clean install. I did it myself.

The best way to reinstall is to launch the Factory restore. You normally has an Windows shortcut but as you had win 10, try to launch from BIOS.
Another solution is:
- Create the Factory Recover Disk (Flash or DVD disks) (from windows shortcut or from BIOS)
- Test the disks
- Delete all partitions on the HDD
- Reinstall using the Factory Recover Disk
