Windows 10 image file is corrupt
I've been trying for 3 days to download the Windows 10 iso file from the Support page. When I try to run the program to make a bootable usb I get a message that the file is corrupt. I need to do a clean install, although every test I've run says that everything is fine, my computer is still running like ***, Chrome won't load, and Office 16 has started having pop-up windows. If I can't get a clean copy, then I'll buy a new copy of Win 10 and start over from scratch, but it would be really nice to have DELL original.
I have an Inspiron 7558
Thanks to anyone who can help me,
Aaron

If the system has a valid license for windows 10 then you don't need to purchase a new one. You could do a clean install by downloading window 10 onto a flash drive from the Microsoft website. Keep in mind, the product key is already embedded in the BIOS. Please click on link below.

You can also run an in-place repair.

Given the age of this system, if the hard drive has never been replaced, you may also want to run an extended hard drive diagnostic before proceeding - you may well be seeing symptoms of a hard drive that's failing. F12 at powerup to get to the diagnostics.
