Download Windows 7 when I try to install it, I get the error code 0 x 80070020
I just started a new job and they required windows 7 or 8 for their software. The computer for this work, I bought comes with windows installed 10. I bought 7 instant download online. When I try to install I get the error code 0 x 80070020 (existing file with that name could not be deleted)
Anyone know what this means? I tried to concludes the download link on the website of Microsoft and use, then just key in my product key but I cannot find anywhere, download, all 10 of Windows.
I have no idea what all this computer stuff means. Any instructions or advice would be appreciated.
OT:
Download Windows 7
Any third party web site has the opportunity to resell Windows 7 digital download. So where you have downloaded since probably you sold a pirated copy.
Note also:
You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 10 do not pilot have native support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 10 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.
Resources:
