I can't install Windows 7

[adimix]

Hello Guys!
This is my first post on this forum.
I bought a new laptop and I need to install my CAD software for interior design.
After installation it seems that the software is not fully functional
I contact software support and they said I need to install it on Windows 7.
My Clevo N150RD came with preinstalled Win 10 Home.
I have a full retail version of Windows 7 two disc 64 & 32 bit.
I tried to installed it with no sucess.
When system try to boot, it freeze on black screen with no complete Windows logo. I also attached my screen.
I've contacted the laptop retailer (scan UK) and the said that this laptop is not compatible with Win 7 due to drivers.
After my research I found that the Sager (which is Clevo) has drivers for my computer for Windows 7.
I presume that the issue here will be drivers but I'm not a pro with this.
Could you help please!
Thanks.

Did you turn on legacy/CSM/BIOS mode?
If you didn't, windows 7 won't work.

If you want to know how to turn it on, just search online, there will be many tutorials to help you do it.

Hi
Thanks for quick respond.
I have not idea how to do that.

When it does that press the escape button, then look around the eufi settings until you find legacy/csm mode or something like that, then enable it.

This is a option I do see in BIOS:

So I have disable the UEFI and I get this screen when windows installation starts

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
You need to do a little preparation in win-10 before you'll be able to possibly install 7
In your bios disable Fast or quick startup in the boot section I believe = this might help

But ultimately you need to do it in win-10 too probably
Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Go to uefi settings and show what is there.

Hi
This is the screenshot oF UEFI settings:

I found also this

Weird lets see the Advanced and security sections,
Although uefi needs to be enabled if there's a os type listing see if it's set to uefi only and if there's a different setting,
Secure boot might be listed in the security section which will or might need to be disabled

Did or were you able to turn off fast startup in win-10 ?

 

[adimix]

Fast startup is disable
And here are the screen shots:

And another

and one more

It always stuck on first boot and blue screen with errors appears.
I was thinking to flash BIOS but I don't really want to break the warranty rules...
plus I don't really remember how to operate in DOS.

What happened to the original install is it still intact ?
If so did you ever disable fast start in power option in win-10 ?

CSM would usually need to be enabled :/
F5 to optimize defaults and get back inside win-10.

Windows 10 is booting normally but when UEFI is disabled I can't boot win 10 from my SSD.
Fast start is disabled in power options and still win 7 not booting :/

Try clean installing windows 7 again, except with UEFI disabled.
