So are you asking if you need to help others or if you need to do it yourself one of these days? While there is nothing wrong with asking such questions, I think that, at least from your standpoint, for correcting problems with your computer, it is much more important to know how to back up and restore your system. That will allow you, if you need to, to restore your system just as it was before you had problems and you will have all your programs and settings as they were recently if you keep the backup current.

I’m going into this not just for you, but because I see this repeatedly and often when people ask questions. What problems are you trying to solve? Repeatedly, I see people ask how to do something because they think it is the way or the best way to accomplish what they want and they don’t explain the problems or what they are trying to accomplish. the result is either bad help or help that takes far longer than necessary to get to the proper points to discuss. When people ask how to do something and don’t explain what the specific problems are they are trying to solve, we can’t address those problems. We can answer the how question but we have no way of knowing or discussing if that is the way to solve a problem in the first place or if it is the best way to solve the problem.
Could your problems be better solved by some sort of Windows repair, perhaps by running System File checker or something else? None of this is being discussed where it might be if we knew the problems you are having.

Hi, in the context of a clean install, it won't just start the installation after downloading. Downloading is performed with the Media Creation Tool, which is the app Microsoft provides for creating your installation media, which would usually be a flash drive. When that has concluded, you can reboot from that flash drive to actually install Windows, in the most extreme case repartitioning and reformatting your hard drive beforehand, which is the way to delete absolutely everything on the machine and get a super clean install if that's indeed what you want. Rebooting from your flash drive may be tricky and may require sighted help depending on your UEFI. Once booted, if the installer detects your sound card, it will give you an audible welcome message as far as I remember. You may then press ctrl+Windows+enter to start Narrator. If you don't hear anything, your sound hardware might not have been detected. A solution is to plug in a USB headset then try to start Narrator. Note that it has to be a USB one as the installer comes with generic drivers for that. For me this worked in three out of three cases. Best, Felix

NVDA supports Windows 7 officially. As far as the browser is
concerned, Windows 7 is still supported in Firefox and the Chrome-based browsers
I use including Brave and Edge. Whether you would say that using Windows 7
itself makes the topic improper for discussion, I of course don’t know but the
browser and NVDA itself are still likely supported.

The only issue I continue to have with NVDA is the loss of the normal hot keys for NVDA. All the hot keys stop working and I have found the only way to get them working again is to restart NVDA.

Fortunately, there's nothing wrong with pressing Control+Alt+n to restart it--it terminates the previous copy as part of startup, so there's no reason to worry about not having pressed NVDA+q. After looking at a debug log, I've found that what is really happening is that the windows key is getting virtually stuck. So all the combinations have Windows included with them. I do not know what causes that, and I also don't know if it's the same on every system where this happens. Feel free to turn on debug logging and send me a log (%temp%\nvda-old.log) the next time this happens and you have restarted NVDA, and I can see if it's the same for you. Luke

Re: NVDA crashes

You can close NVDA either using the system tray icon to open the menu and
exiting from there, or you can use the Windows task manager. I don’t know
what you currently do when you have this problem.
I’m using Windows 7 and I don’t know how often this problem happens to
those running 7 or other versions, but off and on, the same thing happens to
me.
I also have happen, off and on, a key getting stuck such as the NVDA key or
control or alt. If I press the keys that might be stuck, that corrects
that problem. This problem didn’t exist in NVDA a number of years ago and
I don’t know when it was introduced. But at least using Windows 7, on my
machine, it is a problem now, and in recent versions. I hadn’t used newer
versions of NVDA much for a good while until newer versions of programs required
it so I don’t know when this became a problem.

The
only issue I continue to have with NVDA is the loss of the normal hot keys for NVDA. All the hot keys stop working and I have found the only way to get them working again is to restart NVDA. In this case I can not close NVDA before I do this as the insert q key doesn't work.

Re: NVDA crashes
And we are right back to my standard request (I should call it a demand, as that's what it really is, in reality): Versions, Versions, Versions!
It is right next to impossible to give accurate technical assistance without them. For any issue such as this the Windows Version and Build, the NVDA version, and the other software in use, and its version number, are bare essentials. Without those, all advice is just broad speculation, which seldom solves anything. And that's not the fault of those doing the speculating, as that's all they can do with what they've been given to work with. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 I do not understand why some seek to separate a person from their actions. The self is composed of an individual’s thoughts, actions, and expression, which are contained in and actuated by the body. What you do and say is the clearest indicator of who you are. ~ Brian Vogel
