Hi Balta,

Your specs say Win10x64 Pro. Are you trying to install Win7 in place of, dual boot, or what?

Where did you get the Win7x64 Ultimate from?

Did you compare hash for match with your Win7x64 Ultimate?

You didn't answer all 3 questions so I'll reiterate:


  1. Where did you get the Win7x64 Ultimate from?
  2. Did you compare hash for match with your Win7x64 Ultimate?
  3. Added ?: Dual boot what two OSs

1. It is a official Windows 7 Ultimate disk.
2. How can I do that?
3. Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Read 1st sentence of my footer!

Out of suggestions at this point. At this time, I don't want you to attempt to update BIOS or Drivers, but all is not lost. BIOS update mistake basically renders your computer useless!

Head over to Sysnative, and post in 7 forum, Windows 7 Installation & activation. They have individuals with significant expertise in most areas dealing with Windows, all flavors. Be sure to follow their posting instructions. You should receive a response in a very short period of time.

Post back when they resolve your issue, with the solution or hypertext link, so that we may learn from it.

Best Regards,

Nic

UPDATE: I discovered that my BIOS doesn’t have any ACPI options. Using tools to unlock menus on your BIOS I found that they are hidden. In 10 hours I’m going to make an update on what happens.
