I wiped my ssd dev nvme0n1 and copied 4 partitions from an external drive. PC won't boot. how do I recover? I installed linux mint on my hard drive dev sda and did a sudo update-grub but only linux mint is seen. I have a legal dvd for windows 7 but the pc will not boot from it so I can't install windows. Any suggestions (make them simple please)

Hi:

You have two options...

1. Make a bootable USB recovery drive using the cloud recovery client utility.

Here is the link for how to use the cloud recovery client utility...

2.  Make a bootable W10 installation flash drive using the Microsoft Media creation tool at the link below.

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.

PC won't boot from windows 7 DVD -  Invalid Signature error.

I tried different options on BIOS for both methods to no avail
