Hi, i'd like to install Windows 7 on my Notebook. I'm tired of the same Windows 10 and I fondly remember liking Windows 7 the most. It's a shame it reached it's EOL. Anyway enough blabbering, when I try to install it, first up it spits a NVMe driver problem at me. Fixed that, next problem (current) is "BIOS not ACPI compliant", but i'm not looking to break my computer (only new one I have). Can anyone help me install this thing, at least supply drivers and stuff? Anywhere I look I can't find anything. I posted on the Microsoft Answers forum and no solution.

The serial number(S/N) and product number(P/N) of your HP notebook would be very helpful in correctly identifying it and the hardware it came with.

Please recheck that serial number and product number because the HP support site is showing them as "not found".
Unless both numbers are correct and listed in HP's database, it will fail to locate and display the correct laptop model.

Hi, the PN doesn't work with the SN for some reason, it alone works and it redirects to my laptop
I tried the PN with the "#BED" excluded and it worked, you should try it that way too
