First of All thx for your forum. I just register cause I am totally desperate to find a solution to my problem.
I bought a new Laptop like one month ago (ACER Aspire 4752G) and it cames with Windows 7 Home premium installed, No problem at all.
My odyssey starts when I purchased the offer to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro paying 30 Euros. I paid and download the SO, I Upgrade from my Windows 7 Home premium and them All my problems started. I didn't make a DVD backup of my Windows 7 so I don't have anything from my old Windows 7 (only the sticker down my Laptop).
At the beginning Everything worked well with Windows 8 but Finally I was fed up with the new interface (Metro sucks) and I had problems with the Metro Apps (The store, skype, mail etc didn't work) So After reading some forums Where People were recommending to do a clean installation I Chose to go back to Windows 7.
But I download from my university a Windows 7 Professional ISO which supposed to be completely legal for Students etc. After the install I have problems with the activation and after calling Microsoft (they don't work in spain on saturdays) I tried an "activator" which needed a restart to work...But after the restart My computer never achieved to load Windows 7 professional again. My computer just keep restarting again and again without even loading Windows 7 Screen.
Later I decided to download an official Windows 7 Home premium+ SP1 from Digital river cause I thought I can use my Serial number from the sticker under my laptop (Which I don't know if its gonna work). After booting from the DVD where I burn the Windows 7 Home premium ISO I have the problem that I CAN NOT Install Windows 7 Because I receive and error message about my HDD is using EFI or a type of format Windows 7 can not recognaise or use. So I can not format my HDD or Install Windows 7.
I read somethin about EFI but I don't have the option to switch it off from my BIOS so I just can NOT DO ANYHTING.
I am writing this using my girlfriend's computer (MacBook) and I just Try to download and ISO of Windows 8 Pro Who is supossed to work with the extension of the files or format my HDD but I can only download an exe from microsoft to upgrade to Windows 8 but I can not use my Laptop so I need a Windows 8 ISO Bootable which I can burn to a DVD or something similar. I can not do anything with my computer due to my irresponsibility of lacking a secure copy of my Windows 7 OEM but It's frustating that I can not install a new Windows 7 or download a Windows 8 ISO although I had a product license etc.
Somebody can help me with an url where I can download a Windows 8 PRO ISO To install on my laptop and use my Product License??
thank you!
