E7470 Operating system disc
Hi
I have just recieved my new Dell E7470, at some reason it is preinstalled with windows 7 pro, but the installation disc/recovery disc provided, is windows 10 pro, and there is a big white line accros the disc, that says "already installed on your computer". but since my computer is running windows 7 that is clearly not the case
What is the deal with that, and how do I get windows 10 Pro on my computer, i would use the provided dvd-rom, but there is no optical drive?
PS why even provide dwd installation disc with a computer that does not have a optical drive?
No Events found!

Good questions you must have got a PC with a Windows 10 Pro OEM license with Downgrade Rights to Windows 7 Pro OEM.
Disregard the DVD as its probably an old build of Windows 10 and you have no optical drive.
You want to Download a Windows 10 RS1 .iso, make a Bootable USB (for a UEFI BIOS) then Enable SecureBoot and Clean Install Windows 10 RS1:
