Tried that M$ link but the ISO wonbt boot the HP laptop.
And macOS has problems burning it to a DVD +R.

Itbs a UEFI and my Windows 7 USB stick doesnbt see the hard drive in
legacy
or UEFI mode.
I have partitioned the HDD as exFat32 using a Ubuntu live disk to see iff
that helps as I try different install versions.

Thx
