Solved Would anyone be able to help me with my Dell desktop? Have some issues with an older system that I bought

Oh lol silly me, yes I had tried to use the restroom and install but it won't go past the boot screen, it's a Dell optiplex 780 dual core processor 6gb Ram and I've put a 500gb hard drive in it
Well I wanted to try them both to see what form I like better. I have 7 on it, and I have an hp tower with 10 on it that should be here in a few days
Ok,yeah i have a Dell 780 with win 7 on it and it works good.. Maybe your OS on the usb is corrupted..
Would someone sell me something that only works for a few days from eBay? I've never got one from there till I bought this one. Would there be a way to get it fixed?
Is this thread related to this one? Same pc?

Couple of questions if I may;
Have you tried getting into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key while the computer is restarting.
From where was the Windows 7 media on the USB device obtained.
Can you check the Windows 7 USB device in another computer to make sure the media is good.
Have you changed the boot order in the BIOS so that it boots from the USB device first, the option is sometimes list as "external hard drive"
Is the 500GB HDD that you fitted detected and named in the BIOS, if yes, is it enabled as the first boot device.

If using a computer and not a mobile phone, please avoid adding multiple posts while waiting for us to reply to your last, edit your last post to include anything that you wish to add, this will ensure nothing gets overlooked which can sometimes happen if a thread has more than one page, it also avoids filling up folks inbox
Well, I've replaced the hard drives and the battery and tried just about everything but getting a new iOS disc. I'm trying to get a hold of one but now a bout broke. I don't have a landline so my internet is on my phone. And have no way to get the iOS from my phone to the system cuz I still don't have a second system yet
I had tried everything I could, but I did resolve this issue, turned out that PC was coded specific to his hard drive. Something to do with the coding he put on it. I had to replace almost the whole system to get it to read anything but his hard drive. But now it's working
