Hi all,
I bought a new laptop which came with W8 pre-installed. The standard version - not the PRO and therefore not downgradable :-(
I bought a Windows 7 CD and tried to install it, but the installation failed. Frozen screen - don't ask me the details: I am useless.
Now when I power up the laptop, just after the boot begins, I get a screen asking me to chose between "Setup" and Windows 8, with "Setup" being highlighted and which launches automatically if I don't manually change to Windows 8, which systematically leads to the frozen screen and I have to power off manually.
If I choose Windows 8, then it finishes the boot and launches normally.
Since, I have discovered Start8 and it works for me, so I am happy to keep Windows 8, but I'd like to get rid of the partial Windows 7 installation and the boot problem it causes. Anyone knows how to do this?
Thanks a lot.
