well you need a windows key.

Ok, then?

Ok, then?

well you didn't specify if you had a windows key, also when you backup all the stuff, use diskpart to clean hdd and than do a clean install

 

[Noctosphere]

Can you be more spécific please?
How do i do that exactly?

You can format you hard-drive from the windows 7 installer when you select what disk you want it installed on, below there is some text with some images click the eraser and the disk will format then install you should get no errors

And if your installer does not ask for a Product Key then you don't need one yet

but how do i do that exactly?
i would need a step by step solution i couldn't find any online on how to format hard drive from bios

Use the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool to install the Windows 7 ISO you already have to a thumb drive so you know that it's bootable. Boot your computer with the thumb drive and run a clean install. If you have a key, input the key during the installation process. If you don't have a key, skip it and use a loader to activate Windows 7 later.

What do the errors say

 

[Noctosphere]

windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause

 

[_112]

Then I dont think your booting from the usb
