    Unable to install Windows 7 [Intel SD Host Controller] driver needed?


    Hello friends,

    I'm having problems trying to install Windows 7, hopefully you guys can help.

    I own an HP Stream 13 like this one here: Amazon.com: HP Stream 13.3-Inch Laptop (Intel Celeron, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD, Cobalt Blue) with Office 365 Personal for One Year: Computers & Accessories

    It came with Windows 10 pre-installed. I get free access to Windows products via dreamspark through my school. I decided I wanted to download Windows 7. I got through the setup and ended up at the partition part where it says:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows needs the driver for device [Intel SD Host Controller]. Click 'Load Driver' and load the required device driver."
    I have tried downloading Intel's automatic driver detection utility thing, but that did not work.

    I have also tried Shift+F10, diskpart, list disk, sel disk 0, clean. But it came with an error in the command prompt that says:
    "Virtual Disk Service error:
    Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot,
    system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume."

    I'm at a stump. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Uni,
    W7 likes to be installed as No1, even on a virtual Drive.
    Your best bet is to install 7 and make 10 the virtual,
    BUT
    if you only have 2gb Ram, then you'll have to use 32bit versions, or buy more Ram

    The drivers should available via the HP website for that model
