Wondering if anyone here install Win7 on computer that comes with preloaded Win8?? Can you explain how please?? Thank you
Will win8 let me do it???? I did try it once and will not let me do it Anyone knows workaround it? Thank you
You cannot load win7 onto win8, as its not an upgrade. You will need a clean install of win7, after taking win8 of your computer. Are you sure you want to do this, as you sound fairly new at this, and it may get messed up. Yep you should be easily be able to do this, but just make sure you read how to do it first. If you want to do this, i would suggest looking in google for "doing clean install of windows 7". Go and read one of those tutorials, and if your confident you can do it, do it. Also if your new to this sort of thing, do you have another computer with internet access so in case it goes worng on you. First go and read a tutorial in google of doing a clean install of windows 7. Then if you need more help, ask here i am sure people will help you.
If you really want to go back to Windows 7, all you need to do is: boot from an Windows 7 Media (DVD/USB Stick) start the setup chose a Custom installation delete the previous 2 partitions: 1. System Reserved Partition 350MB, 2. the Windows 8 OS Partition create the new partitions for Windows 7 and install Rest you should know.
I did try that with clean install but it could not finish I had to use Hirens cd to get back to win8 image I made before Also trying to create ISO image with control panel create image which does not work either Try to install Far Stone drive clone which make bootable image win8 won't allow me to install it Trying to put Win8 pro preview can't do it either that is why I am looking to put win7 and then maybe win8 pro Help please Thank you
Thank you pisthai I think I have try that and did not work I will try again to see maybe I miss something Thank you again
No I dont care cause I have an image anyway And I really not a big fan of win8 to be honest too much security if you what I mean Thank you
In that way, you could use an Partitioning Software for to delete all partitions on that HDD manually. Do not create new Partitions!! You may need to change settings in BIOS eg. disable UEFI boot. Set Boot mode to IDE/SATA or even maybe AHCI. After that try to install Windows 7 again, it should work
I dont it will work I did made active and nothing stuck at expanding win files and then error 0x080070017 How do you make UEFI enable or disable I cant find that option in bios? Thank you
What? You can't Enable\disable UEFI... Option mentioned is to disable secure boot & then boot DVD in UEFI mode to install...
