In your original post #1, you state you wanted to do "a new / fresh install of windows 10". That is why I posted the Clean Install tutorial for you.

If that is not the case, and you intend to try and upgrade your Windows 7 to Windows 10, then The Media Creation Tool is the easiest way.

Updated list of tutorials for you.

Media Creation Tool is option #1 here:

How to Upgrade to Windows 10 is here:

As you may know, or not, support for home users on Windows 7 ends in a little less than a year from now. No updates, no security updates, nothing. You need to know that.

As stated by others, it is not too much trouble to upgrade to Windows 10, and help with any or all of the steps is here on Tenforums.

It's your choice, of course, if you'd rather run Linux.

We are here if you need assistance.
