Clean Install done elsewhere-not owners wireless network
Following the tutorial
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html
This friend's MSI cr620 laptop was previously on Win 10 1511 so its activated and a local account was used then. The AU would not install and he had Win7 clean installed. Now its a go back to Win10 with the current .iso (1607)
Edit: Neglected to include that the friend 'forgot/overlooked' checking/activating the Win7 and now its past due date.
But the friend thought he could bring the laptop to my home for the clean install
Therefore I'm translating that I should skip the wireless network connection and skip to the next step where he is notified.
He could notify me of the info received
I interpret this clean install would have a MS account established using that second step.
We have created two choices for this install.
He downloaded with the MCtool and used the save to usb flash drive
I created a Rufus + iso flash drive and I also burned a dvd (using Imagburn)
I had to find the pdf manual for the laptop to get the info that the key is ESC to get into the bios start menu.
I cannot confirm if his MSI CR 620 laptop is legacy or UEFI so I used the first choice in the Rufus list.
Questions
Will the MCtool created usb drive require the Esc key into the bios start menu?
Will it discover Legacy or UEFI?
The Rufus based install uses its first default choice which I translated required using the bios menu.
The tutorials are more based on clean installing an existing Win10 so getting into the advanced start is not a choice
I'm wondering if this clean install on the now Win7 laptop should be done at his home with his wireless
