Booting into Windows environment alone won’t bring you full control over your computer. Remember that the hard disk would be formatted with Linux before Linpus installed in it. So to install Windows, we must re-format it in Windows environment. Formatting options that are available while installing Windows 7 or 8 aren’t helpful at all.
Hi guys, I just bought this Laptop from a local reseller for a cheap price! Now I got problem, I have thoroughly researched everything and I have tried my best to install my Genuine Official Copy of Microsoft Windows 7, but I'm unable to do so because it gets stuck on Starting Windows... from my research, I had dicovered that Windows 7 is only compatible with UEFI if there I enable CSM and Disable Secure Boot, but I'm unable to find it in my UEFI settings, that's why it gets stuck, however though Windows 7 installs successfully on Legacy Mode (yes I have tried both GPT and MBR Partitioning scheme) but I refuse to accept to install Windows 7 on Legacy mode for I am looking forward to upgrade to Windows 10 (the free one) which is totally compatible with UEFI and Secure Boot without CSM. I have updated my UEFI to the Latest one.
Second issue is the Drivers, the Processor that comes with the laptop is and i7-4510u which if I'm not wrong is Haswell, now, I get my drivers from the Official Acer Website, should I install the (sort of*) outdated Chipset and IGP Drivers optimize for Haswell or can I choose to install the latest and greatest drivers (FFS who doesn't want latest??) which is optimized (or maybe only for Broadwell) that's why I'm starting a discussion here if it's okay for me to install the drivers labeled Broadwell for the sake of getting the latest drivers.
