Downgrade 8 to 7 on Acer Aspire AXC-603G-UW31 I Need Help!

[jwelk]

OS

Acer told me that I couldn't make a restore disk. The one I made when I bought this would not work after installing Linux. It never showed up in the F12 boot log. The one I purchased worked as advertised. So, you're saying I don't have to perform the DOS flash, OK. There are three items in that download DOS Flash, EFI Flash and Windows Flash utility.
Which of those do I do or do I perform both?
Thanks,
In the meantime, I'll do another restore to bring back the F12 option

Thank you Rainey222
Currently loading the drivers, but all seems to be well. A bit of reading between the lines to delete the HD partitions, and setting in the Advance column. Of the BIOS firmware, I ended up only installing the Windows Flash Utility.
This is a great thread.

OK this is now 8/29/2016, all of the links I have tried are no longer working...

I have one of these that I was given as the Hard Drive had failed, so I want to use this little computer for small jobs but could not install Win7 and in searching for answers found this site and this OLD thread, (a year is a long time in computer life..)

So any updates?? I seem to need a BIOS and some drivers, and it seems these are now gone.

So can any one help me??

Thanks I needed to up date my part of this thread.

After reading how nearly impossible it is to down grade the Acer Aspire AXC-603G-UW31

The Need to flash an OLDER BIOs, and it may or may not work....

And the fact I may or may not be able to find all the drivers...

I gave up and loaded Windows 10 and then turned off ALL spyware settings...

Not one thing in this thread or in any other I have found will allow win7 to be installed on my ACEr TC 105. I get a cd/dvd driver missing, error and that is is. Even the info on ACER's site is the same. "You will use windows 10 if you want to change from WIN 8 or you will die." simple as that.
