Why does Win10 not allow overwrite by new Win7 disc?
Hello.
I purchased a new in the box HP laptop, HP15-AF113CL from costco.
It comes preloaded with win10, it does not have a touchscreen.
I am not a fan of win10 and purchased a licensed copy of win7 pro from amazon.
The laptop does not allow me to overwrite the win10 with the new win7 pro.
I get a continuous "windows failed to start" error with,
"insert windows install disc and restart
file\$windows.~bt\windows\system32\winload.efi
status: 0xc000000f
os could not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors."
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
