Hi Stefano I have a colleague who has the same System as yours ..

She has been trying to Install Windows 7 .. With no success ..

I'm becoming mad only for installing my programs onto this Toshiba Satellite. I am sorry but, I don't know when I'll begin to install Win 7.
When you buy a new computer it likes when you buy a new car, with a difference: you find a chaffeur who decides where to go and what to buy, whom to meet, the directions. A true nightmare. In my opinion if you have not a touch screen computer, windows 8 is useless.
I will keep in touch - not screenly but wordly!
Thank you Belfast's boss!

Maxie and Co. I am happy you found the solution for Radeons and Other Devils. Finally I'm here again in this unending story.

I prepared the partition for the clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit, I changed the boot into CSM mode (My satellite has a Win 8.1 preinstalled with system UEFI boot), but "cannot install Win 7 because the partition is of GPT type". After googling many hours I know that I should delete all partitions and install Win 7 first and then Win 8. Minitool Partition could convert my drive from GPT to MBR style with no loss of data, but when I launch the operation it menaces me so: "This disk contains system partion and convert this disk to MBR style will cause your system to be unbootable."
My rage is that Win 8.1 does not allow users to create images of it to restore in case of experiments. Suggestions? Thanks in advance and afterance!

Can something change if I make an UEFI bootable USB pen containing the windows 7 installation disk?
I'm preparing it. I read the instructions here: UEFI bootable USB media for installing Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 64-bit operating systems on Lenovo Think Branded systems - Lenovo Support (US)
I will give it a shot, never say never... Booting from UEFI I could succeed to install it.

Before you do any thing read the Link below ..


Dual Boot Installation - Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vista


You do not need a USB Insulation to achieve that

This Link should help ...

Ok Maxie, I did not see the links before replaying. Thanks. I study the case more and more...

 

[maxie]

Pay attention to the second Link Stefano

 

[smarcelli]

Thanks maxie.

 

[smarcelli]

Maxie, thanks for the links and the help, but after many days and hours of hard work on Windows 8 to have a full functioning new PC, I do not want to downgrade it to windows 7. As it was when I changed from win3.1 to win95 to win2000 to winxp to vista to 7... at the end except for Vista I accepted the new OS. So I need to install windows 7 in a new partition of GPT style. I will come back again here to make you know if all drivers will be in place. Best regards. Stefano

 

[maxie]

Hi Stefano .... I do understand i have a Windows 8 Computer also ... It did take me a long time to get used to it ....

Hated the tiles and changed to Classic Shell and now all is good ..


Sure you can come back any time you need help

Thank you Maxie, you are an even-tempered fellow, maybe because grown in Belfast? However I have just tried to install Win 7 64 onto GPT/EFI via usb, but after starting it blocks.
