I apologize if this thread is misplaced.
I have a Lenovo K450 with Win8 pre-installed.
I have a new copy of Win7 I purchased from Microsoft a few years back that I would like to install, but my PC seems to be locked to Win8.
I can disable the secure boot in BIOS, and install WIN7, but windows update will not function with secure boot disabled.
Can I circumvent this entirely by replacing the motherboard?
Thank You!
