    Anything you create from the Wim8.1 box is going to be Windows 8, not Windows 7.

    You can try downloading an official Win7 ISO file from the link, burning it to DVD, and booting from that: Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River

    Thanks Mark! I am downloading one now. But it is not possible to boot with a USB (this iso file?) otherwise I'll have to go to the store and buy some DVD's which i'll never use haha
