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.
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.
