Hello.
No. To the best of my knowledge, you will not find it in disk format.

However, you can install windows 10-64bits on on your PC by getting the following:

1. A windows 10 installation disk.
2. A Flash drive (8GB)
3. "WinToFlash" software, download here: https://filehippo.com/download_wintoflash/
and install.

4. Another Flash drive (where you'll copy your drivers)
5. A driver's pack DVD.
***
Armed with these, let's proceed.
***

Insert the win 10 installation disk, plug in your flash drive and run the "win to flash" software.

Once the software opens, proceed by using the wizard.

Carefully note the source (should be CD drive) of the windows and the destination (select flash drive) of the windows.

Allow the wizard handle the rest by clicking next.

Once done, close the "wintoflash" program.

We now have a win 10 flash drive.

Of course you can skip this bit if your laptop has a DVD ROM.
****************************
Remove DVD and flash drive, shutdown PC.
****************************

Now, plug in the win 10 flash (don't worry you're not being weird grin )

Power up your PC and select a boot device by pressing F10, F12, F11 or ESC depending on your laptop type and model;; the boot menu loads.

Your flash drive will be listed alongside your HDD and others.

Using the arrow keys select the flash drive. And hit enter.

Wait for windows (in the flash) to load, Agree to terms (which no one cares to read grin ) then select a 64 bit version of your desired win 10...and click next

Everything is pretty much easy at this stage.

Until you get to a point where you're asked where you want to install Windows. The attached pix shows this,

highlight C: drive and just click next, I repeat ...just click next.

Deleting or formatting will make you loose data

The link below (not my blog grin ) shows a simple way to go about it when you get to this point

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.backup-utility.com/windows-10/reinstall-windows-10-without-losing-data-4348.amp.html

******************************
The rest is a rollercoaster ride.

Once done, insert the drivers pack disk or the other flash to install drivers.
Again you will not need to copy the drivers from DVD to flash if your PC has a DVD ROM.



Does the above explanation sound like Greek to you?? Kindly reach me here on 09082687404 if you'd need help for a token.
will try this,will let u know how it went
...thanks

Please technicians in the house, my laptop keeps force shutting down and turning itself on when i plug the charger, but when its on battery its ok and will use up the battery without shuting down.

Some one said i should change the cmos battery, just did and the problem continues. And when the laptop in turned off and not charging it turns itself on using battery. What could be the problem with this laptop, been using it for 4yrs and counting before this issue started recently.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by etech: 1:49pm On Aug 04, 2019
Please do you hear any noise from the hard drive, before you install the OS check if your hard drive is properly fixed to the hard drive slot.

Are you using windows 10 on your system. If yes. Did it come with the system or u installed it yourself. If u installed it yourself, that is the problem.

Hi.
1. First, you need to stop plugging in the charger and try another charger.

2. Your system needs a little tuneup. 4 years! ( that's a single term for a president grin ) Take to a technician for checkup on basic stuff like power, display RAM and any other attached hardware.

*cheers*
