Decommissioning of my ENVY 15-j022el for Windows 7

Hello

I just bought the laptop above and I am going through the decommissioning process of the built-in Windows 8 to a whole new Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

The computer is just turned a couple of times, no hardware of software change either.

Shame on me, I have never imagined that the decommissioning process would have been so stressful when I bought the NB.

I searched a bit through the forums and it seems I'm not the only one, so here I am begging for gurus please, please provide me with a short tutorial or something.

NOTE: this phone does not come with a CD/DVD unit so I bought an external USB one - it is how I intended to install the new OS.

Apart from that, here's another detail: I had intended to have Ubuntu and Win7 on this machine working in separate disk partitions.

What should I do first? Downgrade to Win7 and then install Ubuntu or vice versa?

I apologize if these questions been asked a million times already, but I have not found an answer to my specific model of laptop and do not know if the ENVY 15-j033tx offers the same exact material that the 15-j022el, in order to better be safe than sorry in case where you answered the same question elsewhere give me please the link and that's all.

Thank you very much for your help,

Kind regards.

Hi, Stef:

First, you will need to change a setting in the BIOS to be able to install and run W7 on your model.  See the information below.

You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model on the link below.

Install the Intel chipset first installation utility and restart.

Then, you need to install the Intel HD graphics driver before installing the graphics driver nVidia.

DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your other questions.

I never installed but operating systems simultaneously on one PC and of those, only Windows.

Best regards

Paul
