Through my school I was able to download Windows 7 Professional (x86) - DVD (English) from MSDN.
The only way to get it was to download it. I unzipped the zip file and found that in the folder it contains a setup.exe. I ran it and everything is fine up until the first restart. When it restarts it brings me to a black screen with the windows emblem glowing and it says Windows Setup. Nothing else progresses from their. I left it to run at one point for 15 minutes and my computer eventually gave me a BSOD.
Im stumped as for what I should do. I run the installer from within XP and once it gets to the point of the first restart it stops working.
I tried making an .ISO of the zip file in an attempt to make an install disk and that doesnt work either.
Can anyone shed some light into how to go from XP to 7 with a downloaded copy of 7?
