I'm desperate. I'm close to putting back Win10 in this machine (Acer Aspire ES 15) and sell it. I love my laptop but if truly "it is not meant" to have win7 then I'm more than happy to see it go, at least for something with legacy or CSM support. I'm not much of a tech guru but I'll try my best to follow the tutorial. Wish me luck, otherwise I'm selling this stupid "Windows 10 only" piece of crap.

Hi Megahertz. Please help, I can't download the PDF tutorial. It somehow says I don't have the right to.

No worries I got it. Had to use a different browser.

Hi Megahertz. My machine is Acer Aspire ES 15 (exact model ES1-533-C0SD)
It has the Intel Celeron Processor N3350 (at least that's the sticker on my laptop says). It is a mediocre 1.1GHz, one of the reasons I believe it cant handle windows10, not sure about that though, just a hunch.

Another question that I have; I also downloaded a Win7 ISO that already had additional USB3 drivers and all, but I'm still having the same problem. So how different is this ISO from your step by step instructions? Sorry for so many questions, I'm just desperate and getting lost in some tech jargon.

Thanks.

Hi SIW2. I am busy trying out your tutorial at
Update your Win 7 installation media
but I am still encountering difficulties. Can we please talk on that thread as it will be a bit weird to discuss it this side.

But now since we are here, I guess my question would be, those three steps that you outlined there, are they a complete replacement of the 5 page pdf tutorial by Megarhertz?

As I wrote on post #25, the script created by SIW2 does the same thing, better and more easy to use.
