Thanks Phil for that info.
I downloaded as an ISO and used the provided DVD burner to write it to disk and verified the integrity of the burned files.
I then ran the instal program from the disk and after 2 hours it had gotten as far as 44% installed and then sat there for another 3 hours until the DVD and HDD had gone to sleep. Re-booted and it just stayed on the new windows logo and went no further.
Because you can't re-instal Win 7 on a Win 10 machine I had to reformat and re-instal Win 7 and software.
Thx Microsoft.
The laptop took 15hours to do a direct upgrade from the net. At least it worked.
