HP TouchSmart 520 PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My hard drive crashed a few weeks ago. I ordered a SATA/IDE Converter cable and managed to save all my family pics, videos, and docs. I didn't want to trash the computer, so I ordered a new hard drive and installed it. I had previously upgraded to Windows 10 a few months ago, so I logged in and downloaded it onto a usb (exFat). I have changed the boot priority every way I can think of and I've disabled/enabled Legacy and/or UEFI different ways, but I can't seem to get Windows 10 to load from my usb. I don't have the original cd for Windows 7. If someone could help, I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.

Hi

W10 is best taken from here...

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

using the Microsoft Creation Tool.

Create Windows 10 installation media

To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.

 
For W7, heidoc.net

If in doubt please ask.
