how to uninstall windows 8.1 in order to install windows 7
For removing windows 8.1 operating system, and in order to install windows 7..
you can follow most resouces online for removing windows 8 (not 8.1) because the largest diverence is in how to access the correct BIOS options as "the menu options have changed".
While in the BIOS Boot menu, you want to change the "Boot Mode" to "Legacy Support" and change the "Boot Priority" to "Legacy First". This will let you bypas the windows 8.1 hardrive boot, and use the cd-rom windows 7 disk instead. I've spent hours tonight figuring how to remove windows 8.1. This was the solution for me. What a pain MS created with with windows 8.1
