Can I install different OEM images on the same Dell model using Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc?

[Nguyễn Trần Bạch Sen]

I have my Laptop Dell Latitude E5430 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit installed by OEM Dell image downloaded from Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc.net. Is there any chance that I can install OEM Windows images of another/different Dell models to my Laptop? Will there be any issues during the installation?

Why not installing Windows 10 ?

Windows 10 is not bad but most people still choose Windows 7 just like Windows XP a few years ago. I still like Windows XP a lot although it is quite outdated now. I wouldn't download an image made for another model but I don't think there will be any (major) problems with it.

Windows 7 is also outdated, it don't natively support a lot of current (and even old :USB3) hardware.

Any machine that works with Windows 7 will also works with Windows 10.

Windows 7 will not receive any security patch in a few months (january 2020).

There is no good reason to install Windows 7 today.

The images are mostly identical (with a few exceptions). If you choose an image from the same series, you should be fine.

Although Windows 10 is not horrible, most users still stick with Windows 7, much like they did with Windows XP a few years ago. Even though Windows XP is now rather out of date, I still really appreciate it. Although I wouldn't download an image created for a different model, I don't anticipate any (significant) issues.

Maybe where you live, but here, most users are on Windows 10.
