That means that your PC cant boot from the USB it is failing did you select iso in rufus?
 
t411, rings a bell?


what im saying is, i boot the computer, I press ESC to open the boot menu, I select the usb key where I put the iso with Rufus,
then after few seconds, it asks me if i want to run windows normally, then I get to the normal vista menu to select which account I want to open, is that clear enough now?
sounds like the iso is corrupted than
 
You should install Windows 7 first so you can get the free Windows 10 license. Why not run a normal upgrade to Windows 7, activate it, upgrade to Windows 10, then do a clean install of Windows 10 through one of several alternative methods? That might be the easiest thing for you.

I think you're missing the problem.

But yes, you have I think 48 hours or so to get a free upgrade to Windows 10. Then you would have to pay.

I thought the problem was that OP couldn't run the bootable thumb drive when starting the computer. The upgrade process can be done from within Vista.

Edit: It had been a few hours since I last read the first post. @Noctosphere, which edition of Vista are you on, and which edition of the Windows 7 ISO did you download?

He is trying todo a clean install so he will format the HDD when he install so it does not matter and you will have to pay windows 10 in a couple of months anyway.

Right, which is why I am trying to find alternatives to a clean install, especially since that's only what OP wants to do because of an alleged edition mismatch.

@Noctosphere, with regard to the bootable USB, did you use the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool on your Windows 7 ISO to put it on your USB?
 
He wants a clean install he is trying windows 10 anyway
