    I have a Dell that had Widows 7 home on it- the Hard drive died - I have a new blank Hard drive. I want to Install windows 10 Home on it without putting 7 on it. I do have a legal COA code for Windows 7.

    What is the best way to to do this?

    You can only do an upgrade. Windows 7 keys do not work for Windows 10.

    Install Windows 7 and upgrade.
