Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and looking for a helping hand.
Tried this procedure and it all went well and was at the Win7 desktop. When I did a restart, system gets stuck in a loop asking 'ESC to enter menu' and then back again. I played with some BIOS settings and can't get anywhere. I installed Win7 Ultimate on HP Pavillion 15 machine that was running Win8 previously.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
I installed a copy of Win7 Pro and it seemed to work out without any changes.
Set your HD to boot first in BIOS, then trigger any boot media using the one-time BIOS Boot menu key.
Version shouldn't matter - they are all the same OS with just a few exta expensive features unlocked. Install the version you own from Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which steps will assure a perfect install.
Thanks for the reply, I will keep that in mind for the next time.
Greg is right. The version of windows you are trying to install should not matter as
The principle is generally the same. At
This point IMO I would do a format and completely wipe the drive clean and do a
Clean install of windows using the link my signature because even if you get
To the desktop you may still encounter issues if u don't do a clean install.
Hi Greg, I hope you can help me out with this, just followed your steps and did clean install. First time it booted to desktop just fine then restarted itself and now just does a loop and does not even load into Windows. I've tried changing the settings around and no luck, went through the installation again and still does the same thing. I've attached screenshots of the BIOS settings, secure boot is disabled and other settings seem fine?
My computer specs are listed in my profile, any more info please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have chosen the Legacy but I have not downgraded it? is that something I need to do ?
The first boot option is: P0 TSST CDDVDW SH-224DB and there is not Windows Boot Manager...
@ SIW2, I changed boot selection mode to Legacy only, still have same result.
