MS won't let me download it because the copy was preinstalled on my system. So I'm getting in touch with the makers of the system to see if they can help me out. I don't know enough to even consider Linux!
Edit: Looks like I might be forced up to Windows 10 because getting a bootable anything for my copy of Windows 7 seems too difficult. Not sure yet if that means I'll have to pay for it or if I can just upgrade what I have. Anyway, Windows 10 should at least get me a bootable USB I can have ready for when I have my drive replaced (I'll be like a toddler performing brain surgery for that).
Another edit: I haven't done anything like this in years. Will I have driver issues with the motherboard and stuff like that or does Windows take care of all that as long as it can boot?
