    problem to install seven


    I bought a PC with Windows 8 preinstalled. However, wanting to win 7 install, I formatted my drive and I realize that I can not install win7 on a GPT disk. or my HDD is already formatted. What to do? I need help

    Boot to a Linux Ubuntu live CD, and format the HD to NTFS.

    If you run into problems with Theog's excellent tutorial showing how to turn off Win8 PC's Secure Boot to install in UEFI mode, you can also Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7

    If you don't have a spare Windows 7 license I wonder if providing Windows 7 functionality with appropriate third party software would suit most people?
    I thought there was a tutorial on this?
