    dell recovery & restore key


    I bought and received this dell recovery & restore usb key and it attempted to work the first time I used it but did not recover or restore my system. Now when I use it tells me "errors were found that prevent us from continuing with the recovery process". I always receive this message on my black screen that says missing operating system. I upgraded to windows 10 but waited to long to revert back to windows 7 so I wiped my drive clean to be recycled. Should I purchase and reinstall windows 7 or is it hidden in my drive somewhere?

    Hi,
    How did you format the drive ?
    You can follow this
    Clean Install Windows 7

    If you need win-7 media use Chrome and this process
    The raw paste on the other site this site refers to
    Download Windows 7 and 8.1 ISO Images from Microsoft - gHacks Tech News

    If you run into updating issues
    Refer to this,
    Reinstalled twice, but Windows still won't update
