HP Computer win8 Changed to win7

Hello, thank you for choosing HP products.

1. Your computer was designed for WIN8 platform at the factory. It is recommended that you use WIN8 system for the best performance and stability.

2. If you need to install WIN7 system very much, because MBR is not compatible with GPT, if you need to install WIN7 system, I suggest you back up the data first and convert the disk into MBR. Then open legncy support option in BIOS, and then install WIN7 system. The method to provide you with the option to turn on legacy support is as follows: you restart the machine, press F 10 to enter the BIOS, then confirm that legacy support is enabled under the system configuration, and then set the security to disabled; Then exit-exit to save changes-yes, and then install WIN7 system.

3. Insert the system installation CD into the CD-ROM drive, restart the computer, press F9 repeatedly to enter the startup item setting after booting, and select Boot from the CD-ROM drive (such as DVD/CD-ROM or OpticalDisk Driver) to start the CD-ROM installation system from the CD-ROM drive.

Remind you that after entering the CD startup interface, if the prompt "Press any key to start from CD or dvd …" appears, please press a button at will and you can continue the installation.

4. For the installation process of Win 7 system, please refer to the official Microsoft document:

Tips: This notebook is pre-installed with genuine WIN8 system. For this pre-installed system, please refer to the following suggestions:

(1) It is recommended that you burn the system recovery CD in the pre-installed system before modifying the system, for future use when restoring the pre-installed system.

How to burn a Recovery CD: Please enter recovery in the "Modern UI" menu, run HP Recovery Media Creation, and then follow the on-screen prompts to create a recovery CD.

(2) After you refit to other systems, the one-button recovery function of F 1 1 in the pre-installed WIN8 system will not be available.

The BIOS of your machine has Chinese version, so what you see is Chinese information. This is normal. Please feel free to use.

I hope the above reply can help you.
