Hi Eight Forums,
I recently got an Acer Aspire E1-571-6442 and I have been using Windows 8 for a bit to try it out. I have decided to downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium x64, but whenever I load the setup I get this error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style. I have tried going into Legacy BIOS mode to disable secure boot, but that didn't work either. How can this be fixed?
