I got a machine running windows xp sp2 32 bit. I want to update it to windows 7 and then to 10 duo to restrictions of motherboard which doesn't allow me to go directly to windows 10. Btw, now i am stuck in windows xp and i want to make a bootable pendrive to upgrade to windows 7.

Thanks

What do you mean you can't go straight to 10? What happens if you put a windows 10 installer and boot from it.

 

What system specs?

 

Use something like rufus to put it on a usb?

Core 2 Duo e8400 

3.5 GB ram ddr3

Mercury G31 motherboard

 

whenever i put a windows 10 installer midea the screen shows only the windows 10 logo and the stuck sometimes a cursor also came.

 

I have used windows 10 in this pc but for it i need to use the exe file then only i updates to windows 10.

 

And now i am in windows xp and don't have any bootable pendrive to upgrade to windows 7

Do you have anouther PC? Id use that PC to install windows 10 to the drive, then move the drive over to this pc. Id move the drive after the first reboot in the installer.

 

Can you make a bootable installer with rufus?

I have tried to create a bootable pendrive by using win setup from usb, Ventroy. I tried to create even wit android but unfortunately everything sucks.

I have tried to use Rufus with Ubuntu but it won't work. And windows xp don't support 64 bit software.

Have you tried installing windows 10 from a dvd/cd? That often fixes issues with usb drives not installing right.
