You don't need to install windows 7 anymore....

Just download the media creation tool for windows 10 and use the media created from it to install windows 10 and skip the enter your product key section since your hardware configuration has already been logged on microsofts servers, so once you get the system back online it'll automatically activate.

Do you want to do a clean install?

Why not using imaging?
