want to install my copy of Windows 7
Hello guys!Recently I've purchased a brand new desktop PC with Windows 8 pre-installed on it.However I don't like win8 and want to install my copy of win7 that i own from previous PC.My motherboard has UEFI higher than 2 ver. I followed all the steps from this and other tutorials (created an UEFI bootable USB,converted my clean disk to gpt,copied and renamed to bootx64.efi etc) but I have these problems:1)After my PC boots from USB with win7 installation files on it, when "windows is starting" logo appears it freezes.This happens when I try to install windows from startup.2)When my pc operates with win8 and I run the installer (setup.exe) from windows environment,not bios/uefi,the installation starts normally.I chose where to install win7 (a clean disk) and after copying and repacking at first restart I have the same freeze when logo shows up.I restart manually the pc and boot to win8 again and check my disks I see that clean disk remains clean (nevertheless I pointed to install win on it) and the disk that contains my win8 has some new folders created by the installation ($windows_lt $windows_bt or sth like that) Why in both cases the installation just freezes and what happens with my disks?why it is being installed to C when I indicate to install to E ?
Hope you understood what i mean.thanks in advance!!
