Hi so I just built my first pc and I went from having a $500 budget to spending $1000, and about near the end of the build I started looking for Windows software and freaked out when I saw it cost in the $100 range. so I heard on YouTube by this guy Paul's hardware that I can go to kinguin.net.
I paid about $20 to get a copy of Windows 7 home premium and I downloaded onto a usb, plugged it in and the computer recognizes the usb but when I click on the option it just goes into a black screen telling me to reboot and select proper boot drive.
I've gone into bios and turned off msi fast boot and I've tried to find secure boot so I can shut it off and prioritized the usb but so far nothing's working. I think that I got scammed or something and that I should just get a real legit copy from Best Buy but I wanted to see what you all thought first. Thanks for any help I really do appreciate it!
I don't know if this will help but here's what's in my build
• msi z97 pcmate
• xfx radeon r9 390
• Intel core i5 4460
• wd black 1 terabyte hard drive
• Intel 120gb ssd
• cooler master hyper 212 evo
• tp link tl-wn881nd
• nzxt s340 blue steel case
