  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  I propose to you leave as is and put to upgrade to 8.1 Windows put in day 1 which significantly improves the user experience for mouse and keyboard users, more:

• I deleted the partition system, pure can not install Win 7 Pro because of the error message

  So, I tried to install Windows 10 on a friends old PC (acer aspire 5920g). I bought a new SSD and traded with the HARD disk, performed a clean install of win 10 and realized that I should return to Win 7 after that too many things were not working well. So, I formatted the disk (230 GB) and system reserved partition. (I took the SSD and put it in an external enclosure that I have connected to my PC to 10 Win.)
  I didn't know much about this system reserved partition but read that it didn't really need when you want to perform a clean installation of another OS. After the partition reserved for formatting system, he said 500 GB of unallocated space. I didn't quite understand that the reader is a 240 GB Sandisk SSD. I put the other (230GB) partition to active and primary with the management tool disc to win 10.
  I put in the Win 7 DVD and change the setting of this kind it would be DVD first the bios startup. However, the Win 7 installation dialog does not appear at all. Instead BACK gives me this message: 'an operating system not found. Try disconnecting all drives that do not contain an operating system. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart. »

  I tried different startup commands but did not get any result. What should I do next? How can I make a simple clean install of Windows 7 Pro (on the new SSD)?

  There are no problems reported by those who follow these steps for a Clean install Windows 10 Upgrade

  then you might want to try again and this time stick to these steps.

  Otherwise clean reinstall Windows 7 you can turn on with the installation media checked in the player by pressing F12 to Acer to get a Boot Menu, choose the bootable media, custom Setup, to the selection screen of disc to remove all partitions until the unallocated space, and then click next to leave automatic formatting and start the installation.  With the Installer do the partition creation and formatting avoid you unnecessary problems second guess the necessary system partitions and you can ignore all this.

  All the other things you did remove the HDD to format in another PC were unnecessary because that's all that is needed.  If other installation problems arise when it's properly you must follow these additional steps to fix failed Installation Windows 7 , that cover all possible problems.

• Can I install win 7 pro on two hard disks on the same computer, to be a recovery in case of virus problems.

  I have an older hard drive and a new on my computer, I installed windows over before hard disk, I bought another hd.

  I would like to install the os on the new hd as well as the old hd, in the case of a failure of the system, is it possible?

  You can't, it would be considered separate licenses and cause problems of product activation.

  What you need to do, is keep Windows 7 installed on a single disc and create a backup of your system on an external hard drive to backup:

• How can I install Win XP on Satellite U300-150 PSU30e

  How can I install win xp on U300-150 / model: PSU30e

  I try to start from the CD Win XP SP2, but don't can't detect any HARD disk.

  How can I do?

  There is no option in the bios to support SATA or IDE

  Please help me

  Hey Buddy

  You won't find any IDE or SATA settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver that is needed to install the XP on this laptop.

  Intel Matrix Storage Manager is the key!
  The storage manager should be included in the Windows XP operating system during the installation process using the F6 key.
  On the other hand, you could include the Storage Manager using the free app called nLite.

  Looking for a little to this forum. There are enough discussions and comments about this theme.

  Hi, Henrik:

  Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

  P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

  ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

  I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

  A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

  I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

• How can I install win 8 and win 7 on the same machine

  I am running Win 7 Ultimate and want to install Win 8 Pro as an additional operating system without remove Win 7 and then have the ability to boot to one of the OS.

  One possibility would be to run Windows 8 as VM on Windows 7, although it may not give the best experience.

  Otherwise you're going to need another partition or another drive to install Windows 8 on. If you're talking about a laptop, then additional disks options are few but for a desktop computer, it is by far the best option.

  Provide the original disc is not full shrink the current C: partition to create the ability for Windows 8 must be installed on the empty space is not so difficult, that's exactly what I did with my Acer Touch PC to allow me to test Windows 8 and it worked perfectly (no space for another drive). I could even point Windows 8 at the partition of Windows 7 to search for drivers for the unidentified material, and all have been resolved.

• Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on the Satellite A100-211

  Hi all.

  I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

  I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

  Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this
  Octavio.

  Hello

  Did you get this error message?

• I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes.

  I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes. I would lose my Microsoft Office 2007 and files, 3rd party software. If so is there a way to save them? How can I backup my Outlook pst. file? Is that all I have to do it before I try it?

  You cannot go directly from the 32-bit to 64-bit.  The best thing to do would be to create a new partition and install the 64-bit version in that.  You will have access to the data on the partition of 32 bits, but will need to install your applications in the 64 bit one.

  Good luck.
