    Win7 UEFI install media on USB must be formatted FAT32

    Have you tried the DVD yet? There isn't a file system issue with DVD install media.

    looks like this was never solved precisely. I Am having the same issue and do have install cds. In fact I have win 7 x64 and 32 OEM version with valid keys. I also have an OEM windows 8 cd. The win 8 will load on my dell inspiron 15-3531. But after a HDD issue I wanted win 7 and the NON acpi error pops up. I would load secure boot and win 8 which works and just go through the online update process to win 10 but the bios key in the inspiron is for win 8.1 so the win 8 OEM i have will not validate. I AM STUCK.

    I've also followed the process to set the bios but no dice. It's the InsydeH20 bios. Secure Boot - Disabled. Load Legacy Option Rom - Enabled. Boot list option - Legacy. Still no luck same ACPI error trying to load any version of Win 7

    The real ACPI fix!


    I would suggest downgrading the Bios to an earlier version that doesn' throw the ACPI error. Newer Bios's don't support Windows 7.
