Thanks

If you can't get a Dell OEM WIndows 7 DVD from your company, they're available on EBay for a few dollars.

Neither Microsoft nor Dell supplies WIndows 7 media any longer - so that's the only option.

You can use the Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key to Clean Install Windows 10 Home:

Alternatively you can Download the Dell Windows 7 Professional Skylake Reinstallation .iso and delete the EI.cfg file from the Bootable USB to clean install Windows 7 Home Premium (this is a bit convoluted):
