if you laptop does not have a DVD drive then get an external one

then boot up your machine with the Win 10 install DVD

Click Next to accept what is on screen then look bottom left for something like
'repair computer'

click that and go to troubleshoot then click on something that says 'start up problems'

the process it will do automatically will then repair any boot up problems if you had any

if you still cant boot then its not a boot manager problem

then you reinstall again what to do

Thank you.

Is tucked at load driver can't find the driver.
May I know what driver it asked for?

1. Since your computer comes with Windows 10, I believe it's using UEFI. Windows 7 does not have native support for UEFI
2. For UEFI, you can't use the Windows 7 DVD to install Windows as it doesn't have UEFI driver pre-loaded, you need to get a Windows 7 ISO with UEFI driver pre-loaded then prepare the Windows 7 installer using RUFUS

my laptop was installed with Windows 7 and forced to upgrade to Windows 10.
Hence, I would like to do a clean install Windows 7.
can I use Windows 7 DVD?

If your laptop originally preinstalled with Windows 7 of course you can clean install back with the DVD...

Probably you need to enable some legacy features like CSM in UEFI to install Windows 7 properly and look out for USB3 drivers if you have USB3 ports (or just disable USB3/xHCI support in UEFI and enable legacy USB support)...

I thought Windows 7 already has some EFI files that can be boot from UEFI? hmm.gif

Never upgrade to win10 through win7. It's buggy. I went through all the troubles of upgrading to win10 through clean install instead. win10 will automatically download all related drivers for your laptop unless it's a legacy product that was released during winxp.

Hi,I'm using DVD drive to install.
Getting error
A required cd dvd drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, cd , DVDs, or sub flash drive, please insert it now.

I had been trying to install the dvd driver but still the same.
Any idea?
Thanks

Looking up the tech specs if I am not mistaken, there's hardly any new bits that Windows 7 lack, maybe only that USB3 drivers... but you are using DVD... and the images of your UEFI I came across the Internet doesn't seem to include disable xHCI option sweat.gif

I look up but definitely cross out the possibility that your DVD is corrupted...

There's also a possibility that you are missing chipset drivers, I dunno but if you installing into SSD then maybe you really need to find that Rapid Storage Driver...

I have to stop, I probably will mislead you further 'cause I don't really know sweat.gif
