I have a Dell Latitude E3550. It has Win 7 Pro. I have attempted to install Win 7. It does not have a recovery partition as it has been deleted before. I am looking for a restore disk or iso to reinstall Win 7 then upgrade to Win 10. I also know Win 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft.
"I have attempted to install Win 7"
How did you attempt to install it without installation media?
I have an open version of Win 7 X64 but it is not installing.
How come you are attempting to reinstall Windows 7?
Windows 7 to 10 upgrades are still free.
Why not upgrade the installed Windows 7 to Windows 10?
Win 10 is the way to go (unless you have special legacy software reasons). As stated, it's still free and your Win 7 will activate it (there are even some reported instances where auto activation has occurred on some machines with previously Win 7!?)
Clean install is highly recommended.
You do not have to install Win 7 and then upgrade. You can install Win 10 directly.
Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First
Your PC appears to have some Win 10 support:

- note that if it has not been approved for use with Win 10, then any compatibility issues are, as usual, at your own risk, of course. Some users find they have to update their BIOS when upgrading.

Why go to a third party site? Go directly at Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...nload/windows7
Provided you have a genuine Windows 7 key, you can download the ISO officially.
