Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First  

Do you get any error messages?

Is your Windows currently activated?

Is the ISO you used the same as what you currently have installed?

You might also refresh (F5) your desktop to see if the GenuineTicket.xml file may show up afterwards.

When i right click and run as admin gatherosstate it does not create a GenuineTicket.xml file.Now what?

NB: It will only create one on a genuinely activated system. Run slmgr /dlv to check licensing.

Windows 7 forums have the experts there... otherwise post an MGA report in the activation section here and we'll have a look. I haven't dealt with Win 7 activation in yonks tho'... LOL

I already tried that ages ago but the mga tool doesn't work for me.Theres so many things that don't work on my windows 7 so thats why im trying to get a new OS.One thing goes wrong after the other and its really annoying. Im trying to do what NAVYLCDR said on page two( Windows media creation tool problem - Windows 10 Forums ) but again I've hit another wall thats stoping me from continuing. Im downloading a win 7 iso with the slowest internet ever :\ and ima try install that.

This method, assumes an activated underlying licence, as you have now come to experience.
In your case activating Win 7 or 10 of the same edition with the COA sticker key would be easier, IMHO.

Yep definitely, it just not better go wrong in some way or im throwing my computer out of a plane into a lava pit :| whats the best way i could back up my shitty windows 7 incase something goes wrong trying to reinstall it?Like i have to use Dell local data safe to make a factory new disc but i cant find it on my computer,maybe i uninstalled it but i went on my dell downloads and i cant see a way of getting it back.

Macrium Reflect free backup - and yes I agree after that a low-level format (i.e. not quick) then clean install. However,After reading about your woes, I suspect that HDD may be saying bye-bye slowly.
