The title says all. If not, I have a second SSD and a win7 OEM key. Is there a way to put the ISO on the SSD without the need for a USB/disc? I have tried to do this but my PC just doesn't detect the file when I try to install it.

No, the title does not 'say it all'.

I see Win 7, Win 8.1, Win 10.

What is on the system now?
How did it get there?
What do you own?
What drive(s) are there?
What do you want the end state to be?

I have Windows 10 currently, I upgraded from Windows 8.1.
I have a C drive with programs on, a D drive with games, recordings etc on and an un-used SSD.
I would either like to have the C drive with windows 8.1 on, with all my files kept, or the unused SSD with Windows 7 on.;

How long has it been since you Upgraded to Win 10?
If less than 30 days, you can (maybe) roll back to the original 8.1.

For Win 7, you'd have to install that on a different drive. That unused SSD maybe.

Why are you wanting to ditch Win 10? Don't like it?

It's been more than a month and H1Z1 doesn't work on it for me, stopped working after the upgrade. Is there a way for me to put the ISO of win7 on the SSD without using a USB or CD?
