New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?
- Thread starter justme
- Start date
Okay, Windows 8 is being downloaded, it will take around 1 hour.
One thing I'm wondering about, should I try to see if I can find the Original BIOS that the lap top came with?
Because remember earlier I "Updated" the BIOS, now I'm wondering if I should try to find the original BIOS and "Downgrade"?
I have no BIOS experience, so I gotta ask that...

No that bios is rubbish.
That's good to hear, I sure hope so...
Erm, you mean MBR the first option or the second?
2nd as you have UEFI and that seems to work better on your machine.

I just looked at your system specs.Those were the days.
No UEFI problems hey? LOL...
By the way, you guys stuck with me through All these things for the last 2 days, till the bitter end, helped me and were with me every step of the way, and then helped me make a new beginning here...
I thought people like that went extinct? Where are you people hiding? hahaha

I'm in the "boonies" is what they call it around here. I was happy to help and looked at is as a challenge. Hopefully will come to a successful end with Superfly's help and kindness. Waiting to see.

Yes, hopefully..
I don't know what I can do for you guys in return... I speak perfect Greek, Serbian and English, I know Transcription, Internet Marketing, Social Media, Websites/Blogs, Windows 7 and natural health...
hahahahahaAny of those things you can use, let me know, I'm at your disposal, anything you need, both of you
Hey adamf, no, we failed to get windows 7 working.
But with Superfly's and popeye's help I'll be learning and moving on to Windows 8 on this new lap top...
Guys, sorry for no updates, I fell asleep last night.
It took Windows 8 over 1,30 hour to download, and just as it did, it had to Confirm the download, which took another hour or so I guess, and I fell asleep at some point, I was dead tired, it was a long day yesterday..
But I'm here now, and I have the whole day in front of me to work on getting Windows 8.1 running and learning how to use it and everything...
This is the screen I woke up to:
I should choose the third one, right? Or the second so that it creates a Media file (ISO)? Sorry for the noob question..
Ok, things look similar to Windows 7, so they look familiar to me.
I'll go: "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)"
I have 3 Partitions, I'll Format the first 2 and then install Windows 8 on the second one:
The third partition I assume is my USB, so that's why I won't be touching (formatting) that... I could be wrong though...
