This is the best explaination that i want. Best video on UA-cam about how to move to Windows 10 to Windows 7 without loosing any data. I was worried about loosing my data. But this man explains everything so beautifully that it becomes so easy. Go ahead man. Love the way how you explained. ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Hello after installing windows 7, i dont have internet. The network driver is missing and it seems that it cannot detect the LAN cable. It says i have to update the driver but I couldn't because i dont have internet. Please help!
The key for me was deleting all the partitions. I tried to keep the recovery partition and as long as I did that I couldn't install windows 7. All the partitions have to be deleted.
Is that safe to perform? I have Windows 10 NoteBook with Intel Celeron N3350@1.10GHz in it I asked some pc experts about that and they said its not recommended because it can cause drivers to be broken or not working I have original Windows 7 Ultimate CD with Product key,and i really want to throw Windows 10 away because its lagging and not suitable for me
For me it saying: Cannot install Windows. and in it was writed something but i forgot it now but i know in it was problem that the disk type is GPT. can someone help please? 😢😭😧😟
Mackenzie O'brien if you have a Windows 7 Product Key you can check out my video on how to perform a clean install on Windows 7. Please make a backup before you proceed with a clean install.
I did this . Now my win 7 doesn’t have any usb drivers . Can’t use any usb . Can’t connect to internet. How do I get drivers installed with no usb available?
+Mr.PenguinPants Yes you can, but that way you will not be able to perform a clean install. Instead it will detect that you have a current operating system and will try to install the new one over it (renaming the Windows folder to Windows.old). Although this is possible I think that performing a clean install will has several benefits instead of installing an OS over another.
+NLB Solutions ok thanks. Also I found a usb flash drive but while installing there's a message that says the partions on the disk selected for installation are not in recommended order" I click ok and all of it installs fine. However, a boot manager comes up and has an error saying that there's a malicious file or a damaged file File: \$WINDOWS.~BT\Windows\winload.efi Status: 0xc0000428 Info: The digital signature for this file couldn't be verified. Please help!
+Mr.PenguinPants Also that last message is what happens when I click Windows setup. When I click Windows 10 it sends me back to Windows 10 with an error saying This version of Windows could not be installed. with other stuff saying to check online to see if it's compatible on your computer but it's for the Windows phone only, which I don't have.
I got run into some issue while doing this 1. I had to convert disk to GTP (done) 2. But then after few restarts I am getting error "No bootable device found"
My old laptop has a product code for Windows 7 on the bottom, which is what it came with. Can I use that code to change my new laptop, Windows 10, to Windows 7.
OK, thanks. Just going to ask, on their website it had a button to verify product keys, when I entered mine in it said it wouldn't work becuase it's an OEM-verison. What does that mean?
Found an answer to your query: OEM versions of Windows 7 are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following: 1. OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel 2. OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on 3. OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard 4. OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system So, unfortunately in your scenario it will not work.
Have bought a copy of Windows 7. I have two hard drives - C which has all my programs and Windows 10, and D which has all my files. If I choose to install it to C, then only the C drive will be erased. I will not lose anything on my D drive, correct?
i know this is old but, i am a hp user and i wanted to downgrade to windows 7. but i don't have any drivers for windows 7.. is they're anything i can do?
Hi Dark, most probably the system will be able to detect some drivers and download them from Windows Updates, but this is not certain and they could be generic. If the manufacturer is not making drivers for Windows 7, it will be a bit hard to find a fully supported and working one.
NLB Solutions how about downloading drivers from driver pack solutions for windows 7 even though there are no official drivers for windows 7 by the laptop company?
I have a question. I have gotten a new laptop, but when I tried to install windows 7 on my last one, it completely got screwed because when It said you're computer is going to restart now, as I was installing it, It wouldn't boot up and went to the windows boot manager and said something was missing o access is denied. How do I downgrade while making sure my computer doesn't get messed up again?
Hi Khalill, in all cases you would need to have a valid product key to activate your Windows product. A lot of people are using different pirate sites to activate their products, but I think that if you like a product you will need to spend some money on it.
Hi Killzone, I appreciate your help on the matter. Here at NLB Solutions we do not tolerate the usage or promotion of piracy software. Thank you for your understanding.
So all drivers are gone after you install windows. Can you install the drivers from a flash drive ? or do you need another computer to do it ? I don't have another computer so I would need to put drivers on a flash drive before hand.
Hello Aron, sorry for the delay in my response. Yes, you can use a flash drive to store the drivers for the computer. This is actually a pretty good way to do it. Good luck !
I saved my data from my old Windows 7 PC using Windows Easy Transfer and built a Windows 10 PC without knowing that I couldn't open WET files on Windows 10. It looks like my only option is to install W7 to my W10 laptop, open the files then reinstall W10.
Hello Džavid Čaušević, where it is not showing any drivers? When you try to select a partition to install Windows 7? If you are receiving any errors there, you can try to use a different USB port on the computer/laptop.
I bought new computer hp and it is with Windows 10 but my many software are compatible with windows 7. What do i do to have windows 7, do i buy new license for windows 7 ?
Hi Jake, this is interesting. Did you try to refresh/reset the Windows 10? Note that using refresh/reset can erase data, so be sure you backup everything first.
you only discuss information that every other person does. what happens if windows 10 machine, does not and will not boot to cd or usb.....i want 7 back and im finding it so difficult, there is no ifo out there how to do this

What format do these files need to be in - earlier I tried to build a drivers folder and what haappened was that it built little folders for each driver needed ..... the main Win 7 Ultimate iso kept on crashing when all it saw were all of those driver folders .... is there a way around that - or a workaround ??? This Laptop is a B50-45 which has no optical drive - as well as no drivers to includ an external optical drive - (Cant even instal a Next External DVD/CD buner drive either .... sorry for such a long reeply - I just wanted to give you as much info about my senerio as possible - Windows 10 is a Nightmarish jOKE ....Should have never been released to the public
Hi Symbian, if I understand correctly you are not able to see the disk to install the Windows 7 OS. I would suggest for you to try and use the USB 2.0 and see if this would help. You can differentiate the USB 2.0 from USB 3.0 by the blue connector inside the USB 3.0. Your model laptop should have 2xUSB3.0 and 1xUSB2.0.
Thank you it never occured to me that one of the usb ports was a legacy 2.0 - and that the other 2 were a more modern coded 3.0 .... go figure - I will try that ! The last time I tried to do a full clea install - it told me that the bios was password locked (This laptop is a second hand purchase with a irritatingly annoying bios lock from the previous owner from a third party - no longer available - can I erase the bios password by taking the cmos battery out for a day or so ? and if so .... where is the battery located ?? LOL
What if all I want to do is keep my default Windows 10, and have Windows 7 as a secondary desktop, just to start games or other programs that require Windows 7?
Hi gameoholic, you have few options and they depend on what you are going to use the Windows 7 for. 1. Use virtual machine within Windows 10 and install Windows 7 - this option is suitable if you are going to use the Windows 7 for general purpose and not heavy gaming. 2. Use Dual boot - this is a method that you can use to install dual OS on your computer and boot in one of the systems, this can help heavy gaming / heavy loads. 3. Create a Windows 7 VHD and configure your computer to boot from the VHD - this is a simple method that will be easier to manage and will provide a good performance (not optimal) in gaming scenarios.
NLB Solutions Thank you. I'll think about these options. I think Dual Boot might be my best option, because what I currently have on my mind is the fact that Grand Theft Auto V keeps crashing before I even get into the Story Mode while on Windows 10. I've been LONGING for a chance to fluently install so many car mods. Forget gun mods, or other mods that don't meet my interests. It's the cars I care about the most.
Hey Gameoholic, there is no build in Dual Boot, you have to install the second OS on another partition and it will be available in the boot table, when you start your computer. I think this is a great topic for a video, stay tuned!
Hi, I want to ask: I set as 1st boot device removable disc(usb) but when I save the changes and restart pc, It doesn’t work. It’s starting win10 over and over. I went into bios settings and there is still set usb. Heeeeeelp me or kill me pls
I recently had windows 7 but updated to windows 10, when I was on windows 7 I had a whole bunch of files on there that got deleted because of the windows 10 upgrade. It’s been 30 days since I did this upgrade and I was wondering if I downgrade back to windows 7 if I would get all my files back?
Hi Fejker, if you plan to clean install Windows 7 only C partition data will be lost (eg. My Documents, Downloads, Desktop items). You should not delete local disk D. Although your data on D is safe, I would recommend first to backup.
always gets stuck on the starting windows screen D: plz help! I copied everything and it gets me stuck on windows starting screen with the 4 glowing dots then the windows sign. I have tried safe mode, reinstalling, and couple other things i cant remember the name of D:

AlextheAwesome 101 Acer E5 575 It's pre-installed with windows 10 home and I want to install Windows 7 ultimate 64bit on it, I've checked Acer's official website there are no drivers for windows 7 but there are drivers available on driver pack solutions site not sure if those will work anyway now how do Install Windows 7 ultimate correctly and get the correct drivers?
I didn't see and explanation for how to clean install it. could you tell me in words on how you do that? and I have a product key but it has 20 digits not 25.
Hi Red, well clean install means that you install an OS on an empty hard disk or you format the data on the disk. A product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. This is the official information from Microsoft, so not sure if you have a proper one.
Hi Rose, it really depends. Few manufacturers does not provide support for Windows 7 anymore. I would suggest for you to check the manufacturer web site for more information depending on the make/model of the laptop.
i burn a dvd of window 7 i restart and boot the dvd and then the starting windows stay freezing and dont do anything else i burn 2 dvd already and giving me the same problem im using window 10 in i want to install window 7 i hate fucking window 10 i wish i go back in time and not by this piss of shit
Beware of the Windows 7 Agent killer 7.6.7600.320 Microsoft downloads this upon connecting to the net and it literally breaks windows update. Its ungodly and horrible to deal with. If you found this please post a good fix for this.
+AgelessNomad I had several issues in the past with Windows updates, but on older operating systems. I will try to reproduce the issue and will upload a video with possible solutions.
+AgelessNomad After doing some research and tests on the matter I can see that the issue appeared in 2014 after installing the new Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. A lot of users experienced this problem and a common workaround was to apply google DNS servers manually (8.8.8.8). Although I tried installing Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 manually on a machine, it did not give me the specified error. Instead I was able to check for updates download and install them. It is possible that there is a specific update installed prior to the update causing the issue. It is also possible that this was a temporary issue, that was fixed by Microsoft in future released updates. I found a good guide describing few errors and possible resolutions for Windows Updates: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2509997
+NLB Solutions thanks for the time into this, your information has helped out, good thing we have people who help out, thanks for the video here and maybe many more for everyone. good luck with the channel :)
Hi Crazy, yes there is. 1. If your laptop/PC came with Windows 7 you can try factory reset (Backup your information first). 2. You can clean install Windows 7 (Backup your information first.) 3. Do not forget to check with manufacturer to see if there are compatible drivers for your machine for Windows 7 prior to installing.
Hi Bahrit, yes this is not the first time I've seen this. There are few brands making their laptops without the option to install Windows 7. I've seen some dodgy drivers, but if the laptop manufacturer does not support Windows 7 it will be risky to try it.
I have a question sir. What if i downgrade my w10 to w7 just like the way you do. And my files on my local disk (c) would it be gone? Or not. Bcuz i dont have any flash drive to copy it or save it . . please help me
Hi SuperGamerzNation, if you perform a clean install everything on your Boot partition aka Windows partition will be deleted. Make sure you take a backup before you perform the clean install.
would it be better to clone a hdd of windows 7... and then upgread to windows 10 so if its not what you want you can just change heard drive and save all the hard work and time
This is possible and very easy. If you're going to install new windows then it asks to make new partition and then u can keep both o'em. But I don't recommend it tho
Can i use upgrade media to do this? Also, my laptop came preinstalled with windows 10. If something screws up can i go back to it with a factory reset? Please answer ASAP
hi Hairpin, you can if you are careful. You can use the installation media to install a clean Windows 7, but you should not touch the recovery partition. (usually 5-10 GB named Recovery) Then if you do not like 7 or you want to upgrade again, you can use Factory Reset settings to restore Windows 10.
NLB Solutions Okay, thank you for your help. I am only having trouble with changing the boot priority, i have an Acer Aspire E15. I know how to get into the BIOS but i dont know which is which
Hi Hairpin, you can use the Boot Menu instead. Making changes in the BIOS can be trouble sometimes. Check when you power on the laptop for Boot Menu (possibly F1, F2)
i tried window 10 ,its so bad ,because can not show window side by side as easy as win 7 ,also letters are not as dark as win 7,hard to read, view photo not as easy as win 7 (win 7 is straight tell click to zoom ,to enlarge,next photo or delete....),the photo viewer screen and files viewer screen too pain or white not present to eyes .When plug in pendrive unclear showing logo , open two or more windows unclear show at the task bar, clean recycle bin no sound coming out . Just say that is very not user friendly
Hi Eazy, this is an interesting scenario you got there. There are multiple factors you need to check on the manufacturer site: 1. Is the tablet compatible with Windows 7? 2. Are there drivers that can work with this tablet?
I have a question. My HP came with windows 10 when I purchased it (1 year ago). Are there any actions I can take to install Windows 7 and completely remove Windows 10? I also don't mind purchasing Windows 7, just want to know if it is possible. Thank you.
I have no files to looses, I a on a new computor, with windows 11. I wnat to get back to 7, all my files are spread onc louds SD cards and I still have teh hardrives that can be plugued in. However I had a laptop, now I have a modern day tower.... With tech from 2017/2018. And I have a new key.
Hello guy, my windows 7 has formated to insall windows 10 64bit although my system is 32bit and I cannot install it. Now my windows 7 has formatted. So plz add a video to restore my windows. ( my system has another OS Ubantu)
Acer E5 575 It's pre-installed with windows 10 home and I want to install Windows 7 ultimate 64bit on it, I've checked Acer's official website there are no drivers for windows 7..now how do Install Windows 7 ultimate and get the correct drivers?
Hi The Geektrick, yes I noticed the same thing. I was presented with a new Acer laptop, which did not have drivers for Windows 7. Most of the vendors will stop creating Windows 7 drivers for older OS. This is just how things move forward.
Hi,i have a souliton you can get ur drivers corretcly with Driver Booster 5 or DriverPack Solution so yeah good day! BTW NLB Solutions Nice video right what i needed :)

3. Create a Windows 7 VHD and configure your computer to boot from the VHD - this is a simple method that will be easier to manage and will provide a good performance (not optimal) in gaming scenarios.
NLB Solutions Thank you. I'll think about these options. I think Dual Boot might be my best option, because what I currently have on my mind is the fact that Grand Theft Auto V keeps crashing before I even get into the Story Mode while on Windows 10. I've been LONGING for a chance to fluently install so many car mods. Forget gun mods, or other mods that don't meet my interests. It's the cars I care about the most.
NLB Solutions How do I even FIND Dual Boot to even start installing everything?
Hey Gameoholic, there is no build in Dual Boot, you have to install the second OS on another partition and it will be available in the boot table, when you start your computer. I think this is a great topic for a video, stay tuned!
NLB Solutions I just subscribed to your channel for this reason. I'm staying tuned.

I recently had windows 7 but updated to windows 10, when I was on windows 7 I had a whole bunch of files on there that got deleted because of the windows 10 upgrade. It’s been 30 days since I did this upgrade and I was wondering if I downgrade back to windows 7 if I would get all my files back?
no
Thank you very much. Very useful.
Thank you Raton!
Will I lose all my stuff from Local disc D? And Do I only delete C?
Hi Fejker, if you plan to clean install Windows 7 only C partition data will be lost (eg. My Documents, Downloads, Desktop items). You should not delete local disk D. Although your data on D is safe, I would recommend first to backup.
NLB Solutions Thank you!!! I am planning to downgrade from windows 10 to windows 7! This is very helpful
Happy I was able to help! Good luck!
thanks buddy god bless you. ♥
I use win10 but its kinda slow
always gets stuck on the starting windows screen D: plz help!
I copied everything and it gets me stuck on windows starting screen with the 4 glowing dots then the windows sign.
I have tried safe mode, reinstalling, and couple other things i cant remember the name of D:
DemBones Try installing windows from a usb or dvd. On startup press f12 to go into bios. And for boot options:
highlight (select) Usb drive or
CD and press enter.

It's pre-installed with windows 10 home and I want to install Windows 7 ultimate 64bit on it, I've checked Acer's official website there are no drivers for windows 7 but there are drivers available on driver pack solutions site not sure if those will work anyway now how do Install Windows 7 ultimate correctly and get the correct drivers?
how if just format partition, dont delete?
Hi Muhammad, yes you can just format the partition and it will be just fine.
NLB Solutions hi what if I forgot to eject my flashdrive when I was downgrading will all my files be deleted?
okay, thankyou. nice tutorial
I didn't see and explanation for how to clean install it. could you tell me in words on how you do that? and I have a product key but it has 20 digits not 25.
Hi Red, well clean install means that you install an OS on an empty hard disk or you format the data on the disk. A product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. This is the official information from Microsoft, so not sure if you have a proper one.
So.... How do you empty the hard disk?? Did I miss that part?
What is the latest systems specs on Laptop which I can perform a clean installation of Windows 7 Pro?
Hi Rose, it really depends. Few manufacturers does not provide support for Windows 7 anymore. I would suggest for you to check the manufacturer web site for more information depending on the make/model of the laptop.
i burn a dvd of window 7 i restart and boot the dvd and then the starting windows stay freezing and dont do anything else i burn 2 dvd already and giving me the same problem im using window 10 in i want to install window 7 i hate fucking window 10 i wish i go back in time and not by this piss of shit
Beware of the Windows 7 Agent killer 7.6.7600.320
Microsoft downloads this upon connecting to the net and it literally breaks windows update. Its ungodly and horrible to deal with. If you found this please post a good fix for this.
+AgelessNomad I had several issues in the past with Windows updates, but on older operating systems. I will try to reproduce the issue and will upload a video with possible solutions.
+AgelessNomad After doing some research and tests on the matter I can see that the issue appeared in 2014 after installing the new Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. A lot of users experienced this problem and a common workaround was to apply google DNS servers manually (8.8.8.8). Although I tried installing Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 manually on a machine, it did not give me the specified error. Instead I was able to check for updates download and install them. It is possible that there is a specific update installed prior to the update causing the issue.
It is also possible that this was a temporary issue, that was fixed by Microsoft in future released updates. I found a good guide describing few errors and possible resolutions for Windows Updates:
support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2509997
+NLB Solutions thanks for the time into this, your information has helped out, good thing we have people who help out, thanks for the video here and maybe many more for everyone. good luck with the channel :)
+AgelessNomad no problem. Thank you for your support !
is there any way at all to get to windows 7??
Hi Crazy, yes there is.
1. If your laptop/PC came with Windows 7 you can try factory reset (Backup your information first).
2. You can clean install Windows 7 (Backup your information first.)
3. Do not forget to check with manufacturer to see if there are compatible drivers for your machine for Windows 7 prior to installing.
Driver not found.. I have never face this problem before
Hi Bahrit, is this when you search for a disk to install the OS?
NLB Solutions YES and some people said that my pc doesn't recognise Windows 7 driver
Hi Bahrit, yes this is not the first time I've seen this. There are few brands making their laptops without the option to install Windows 7. I've seen some dodgy drivers, but if the laptop manufacturer does not support Windows 7 it will be risky to try it.
Troubleshoot,Recovery,Find my device and the device encryption will be lost right ? Thanks
i have not nick folder
If i go back to windows 7 from windows 10 can I go back to windows 10 Anyone know???
I have a question sir. What if i downgrade my w10 to w7 just like the way you do. And my files on my local disk (c) would it be gone? Or not. Bcuz i dont have any flash drive to copy it or save it . . please help me
Please help me. Iwanted to get back at window7
Hi Johncrys, yes all data on local disk C will be erased, so you will have to backup first.
How could i back it up . dont really know about computer.
I know this Video is a bit old but i want to know if i downgrade to windows 7,if i would be able to upgrade to windows 10 again?
Yes, you will be able to upgrade. Please remember that the free upgrade offer will end on 29 July 2016.
NLB Solutions
many thanks :)
Does this still work as of now 2018? Please reply if possible
if I do the downgrade to windows 7 will anything be deleted?
Hi SuperGamerzNation, if you perform a clean install everything on your Boot partition aka Windows partition will be deleted. Make sure you take a backup before you perform the clean install.
thanks for the help man!
You are most welcome!
👍
would it be better to clone a hdd of windows 7... and then upgread to windows 10 so if its not what you want you can just change heard drive and save all the hard work and time
Hi gene, this surely is a way to achieve it. This on the other hand is native only way.
Is it possible keep both window,10 and 7?
Hi Shamima, yes it is possible if you use Dual-boot. If you are not familiar with the technology I do not recommend it though.
This is possible and very easy. If you're going to install new windows then it asks to make new partition and then u can keep both o'em. But I don't recommend it tho
video starts at 12:20
skip the long chit-chat
Can i use upgrade media to do this? Also, my laptop came preinstalled with windows 10. If something screws up can i go back to it with a factory reset? Please answer ASAP
hi Hairpin, you can if you are careful. You can use the installation media to install a clean Windows 7, but you should not touch the recovery partition. (usually 5-10 GB named Recovery) Then if you do not like 7 or you want to upgrade again, you can use Factory Reset settings to restore Windows 10.
NLB Solutions Okay, thank you for your help. I am only having trouble with changing the boot priority, i have an Acer Aspire E15. I know how to get into the BIOS but i dont know which is which
Hi Hairpin, you can use the Boot Menu instead. Making changes in the BIOS can be trouble sometimes. Check when you power on the laptop for Boot Menu (possibly F1, F2)
Hairpin TV Acer E15 which one? did you get your thing done in BIOS?
how long in starting windows?
thank you !!
hi , can i have a link for the vid. where you show how to set boot priority Thanks
Hi Greg, this is actually the first video in my channel - ua-cam.com/video/fBrbBhJqV-Q/v-deo.html
GUYS If your computer says can't verify winload.efi just go to the uefi settings and turn on legacy boot
i tried window 10 ,its so bad ,because can not show window side by side as easy as win 7 ,also letters are not as dark as win 7,hard to read, view photo not as easy as win 7 (win 7 is straight tell click to zoom ,to enlarge,next photo or delete....),the photo viewer screen and files viewer screen too pain or white not present to eyes .When plug in pendrive unclear showing logo , open two or more windows unclear show at the task bar, clean recycle bin no sound coming out . Just say that is very not user friendly
It was a great video
but i want to downgrade on a windows 10 tablet to win7 but i only have a win7 CD for my pc :(((((((
Hi Eazy, this is an interesting scenario you got there. There are multiple factors you need to check on the manufacturer site:
1. Is the tablet compatible with Windows 7?
2. Are there drivers that can work with this tablet?
ik this awkward to ask but how can i do the factory reset i have an HP laptop or a key product idk these word confuse me, pls help!
Hello Cham, please note that there are several tutorials online, that show the process of factory resetting a HP.
NLB Solutions ik i didn't think of that before posting this comment lol but i figure it out thank anyway :)
Hi Cham no problem, it is not that I do not want to help, but there are different ways for different models. Good luck !
NLB Solutions :-)
Mine goes into infinite restarts
I have a question. My HP came with windows 10 when I purchased it (1 year ago). Are there any actions I can take to install Windows 7 and completely remove Windows 10? I also don't mind purchasing Windows 7, just want to know if it is possible. Thank you.
Hi Xavier, If you buy Windows 7 you will be able to remove Windows 10 and install Windows 7.
Windows 10=Booty'os
Windows 10 is the worst os ever it also don't runs softwares and games smoothly
How long did the installation (when u paused the video) take?
Hi Maahir, depending on your system it can take from 15 up to 60 minutes.
Can you install Windows 7 if your pc came pre-installed with Windows 8.1?
Hello Alex, you can install Windows 7 if your PC is with pre-installed Windows 8.1.
You used virtualbox for this right?
Hi Dark, on these series I did not. But you can use Virtualization software like Virtualbox or Hyper-V or even KVM.
I have no files to looses, I a on a new computor, with windows 11. I wnat to get back to 7, all my files are spread onc louds SD cards and I still have teh hardrives that can be plugued in. However I had a laptop, now I have a modern day tower.... With tech from 2017/2018. And I have a new key.

It's pre-installed with windows 10 home and I want to install Windows 7 ultimate 64bit on it, I've checked Acer's official website there are no drivers for windows 7..now how do Install Windows 7 ultimate and get the correct drivers?
Hi The Geektrick, yes I noticed the same thing. I was presented with a new Acer laptop, which did not have drivers for Windows 7. Most of the vendors will stop creating Windows 7 drivers for older OS. This is just how things move forward.
Copy your drivers from system32
Hi,i have a souliton you can get ur drivers corretcly with Driver Booster 5 or DriverPack Solution so yeah good day! BTW NLB Solutions Nice video right what i needed :)
Did you get windows 7 on it working correctly?
I don`t have a flashdrive
You can always buy one, it's cheap nowadays. You can burn a DVD if you'd like.
Windows 7 is the beginning and end of the OS equation
Thats right my man!
I really get it from this video, how about I use the partition for windows 7 setup instead of cd? its possible?
