I sure hope someone can help me. I have an eMachine 1360G desktop. I had Windows 7 on it and everything worked fine. Then Windows 10 did an automatic installation!! After that I lost some screen colors, passwords that didn't work, but I could fix all that. The real issue was that after a week, the hard drive DIED!! I took it to a tech at Frys Electronics and he said that they had several older cheaper desktops that Windows 10 killed the hard drive on. It was so corrupted that I had to buy a new hard drive.
I had them save my documents and photos and music on a thumb drive. Well Windows 10 was installed on the new 1 TB drive and all my backups were saved. However, now I had NO SOUND. I tried all the things on the internet but nothing worked.
I talked to MyAnswer and paid them $70 to help me. Their answer was that since the Acer/eMachines Windows 7 OS was not on the new hard drive there would never be any sound. Their answer was to buy the Windows 7 OS for my SNID and install that on the new hard drive and get rid of Windows 10. So I bought the $20 CDs from Acer.
But after installing the first CD (System Disc), it tells me to put in Disc 1 of 3 Recovery Disc. I do that and get this message "There is insufficient space on the disk for the temporary files required for this operation." I deleted everything I could off the new hard drive just leaving the Windows 10 OS and it still throws this same error message no matter which options I choose.
How can I get rid of Windows 10 and get back to the Windows 7 that my desktop came with? I am so frustrated. (One friend said to buy a new hard drive and try to do the Windows 7 CD installs from that. Is that what I have to do?)
Pleae someone help me. Thank you
