I can't remember if I put the Win10 installer on the Patriot
I do remember I removed all the files/folders from the Patriot
before using it. So I went to the folder where I put it and found this:

Can we use this?

Sure.

You'll likely need to do phone activation.

I don't know if the Refurbisher Key makes this any harder
or not, but on a Dell COA you could do it. It should definitely
work on the 8500. I've not read of any accounts of people
redoing a Refurbisher.

You could bring over this mounter, to the 780.
Bring over a copy of the ISO (in Downloads or the like).
Select that ISO from the File menu in the mounter.
And a virtual DVD drive will appear in File Explorer.
Run Setup.exe off the virtual DVD drive.

Since your 8500 is in good working order, you can burn
a DVD copy of that software, as you see fit. Use Imgburn,
use the upper left hand button (of the six buttons).

If you needed to do a Clean Install, then I would be
getting you to burn a DVD disc right away.

The mount will drop on the first reboot, and subsequent
install boot cycles, the installation process doesn't
need the image after that.

In your BIOS, you can turn off the Win10 drive, if it
isn't off already.
