    I have a laptop pre-installed with windows 8, installed it with windows 7 retail cd + using 'Multi-OEM' ISO Project from this link and it didn't work.

    do I need to downgrade my slic bios 2.1 to get the windows activation to stay genuine because as of right now, I'm using Daz loader for Windows 7 activation and I'm not sure how much longer this will keep my laptop windows 7 activation genuine for.

    1. What is the exact model of your laptop?
    2. Daz's loader is a complete solution; you are completely worry-free with it.
    3. You can also use Professional or Enterprise & use KMS activation.

    daz loader is a solution, but will i have to worry if it stays unactivated anytime soon?

    I'm using os 7 ultimate so is this a better than enterprise?
    I installed windows using MBR format and legacy mode

    BIOS only have legacy/uefi so I changed it to Legacy to install OS 7

    Ok thanks so I should skip downgrading bios to slic 2.1 and just use Daz?

    I also tried to install win 7 OS on my friend's laptop that was pre installed with windows 8 and it didn't work as well. I guess this bios 2.1 flashing only works for older laptops huh?

    these laptops shipped with bios 2.1+ so I don't understand why it didn't work..

    I can't post any links but I used the Multi-OEM' ISO Project to the win 7 disc.
