Win 7 on Win 8 Laptop
HP G7 2220 us laptop.I cannot figure out how to use Windows 8, I want to downgrade to Win7.
I have disabled secure boot and in legacy have the usb drive as boot nuber one boot drive.
I had formatted the disc using Rufus to make a GPT usb boot drive and used a digitalrive Win7+SP1(Media Refresh)iso file.
In the UEFI boot at startup(Esc then F9) I can see the USB drive and when I select it and click Enter this is what comes up:
Windows failed to start recent hardware or software change might be the cause.To fix problem :
1)Insert windows installation disk and restart pc
2)choose langue settings and click next
3)click repair your pc
How do I go by the installation of Win7.
Ps:I already have the bootx64.efi file in correct place on the flash drive.What does CSM mean and how do I enable it?
Please help.Thanks
