    Error During Install on HP15 - 15-ab257tx


    Got this laptop, had Win 10 on it and its becoming a nightmare to switch to Windows 7. Got an ISO old Win 7 ISO that worked but detected no USB drives at all. Then got another here with SP1 that wont even work.

    Goes into Copying Windows Files, Then Expanding Then stays at 0% Error.

    "Windows Cannot Install Required Files, Makes Sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation"

    Has given me error codes in the past. I am using ISO burned into a DVD will be trying it from an USB drive next with Rufus. USB Driver says it needs a driver to install it from USB. Gosh..

    I am trying to install this from the DVD, and I am now getting this dreaded error message CD/DVD Device Driver is Missing, if you have a driver please insert it now. Can anybody help?

    Your laptop has a i7 6500U CPU. It's from Skylake family. Win 7 installation disk doesn't have some drivers needed to install (that is why you get CD/DVD Device Driver is Missing).
    You must, on another computer, add those drivers (USB3.x and SATA) to the win 7 installation disk.
    Fist of all, you must get a Win 7 64 SP1 (any type) installation disk.
    On BIOS, Secure Boot and Fast Boot must be disabled.
