Remove Windows 8 and Install Windows 7

Remove Windows 8 and Install Windows 7

If you are not able to boot from a media to install windows 7 on the hardware you purchased with Windows 8, here is a simple way.

You should arrange Windows 7 driver for your hardware before going for it, else you will be stuck with a nearly useless machine after Windows 7.


Both steps to be performed in Bios.

Step 1:
Disable Secure Boot

Step 2:
Enable Legacy Boot.

Now you will be able to select your USB or DVD etc to boot from.

How to do it in bios is different with every manufacturer. So I can't mention steps here, however you should yourself search in Bios Settings.

Some of the names of Bios Settings may appear as:

• Bios
• Setup
• System Configuration
• Settings

This will be at the time of boot and require pressing Key like F9 or F10 etc. to enter to the settings.

Worked for me.

Best of Luck.
