Installing Windows 7 on a Windows 8 pre-installed laptop
I've tried several options, but none works. My laptop is: Acer Aspire E1-571 and it has EFI ( and legacy bios). I already disabled the Secure boot and followed the tutorial how to make a UEFI bootable windows 7 installation usb.
The problem is:
If I boot with the UEFI windows 7 USB in Uefi mode, it will not recognize the usb, the only bootable option will be: Windows Boot manager.
If I boot with a regular windows 7 USB in BIOS Legacy mode it will, upon getting to the screen where you select the drive you want to install it on, say it is incompatible with GPT partitioned drives. I have been googling all day long and this is driving me crazy!
The reason i want a dual boot is because i want to be sure the drivers are fully compatible (yes i did research), so if anyone could help me out, thanks a lot!
