Win7 is kill

what does uefi have to do with win10 update? you can format the hdd to mbr and install win7 the 'old school way' if that's what you're asking, rather than using gpt. what was the hassle in installing 7? idk what a y700 is, but unless they cut out support for windows 7 I don't know what would stop you from using it

okay, sonic.

You posted this 2 weeks ago. I will state again that you clearly have no idea what your doing

>>56040908
I know that I don't know what I'm doing, I'm asking you guys. And you're wrong, somebody must have posted it too.

>>56040829
You missed the
>I move with my laptop frequently

I work in many places, ok?

>>56040948
Bios - disable secure boot (uefi)
- enable legacy OS
Win 7 install - delete ALL partitions
-reformat
-profit?

>what does uefi have to do with win10 update?
I'm talkin about NEW laptops. They are either sold with Win10 or without. But those without it have UEFI and it's hard to install Win7 on them.

It didn't actually work for the first time. It took several tries and I don't know how it finally worked. I just kept changing everything in correct order before install. I'll post exact order next time, sorry.

The thing is it may become even harder in the future, don't you think?

I don't really even care about the support actually anymore. So formally nothing.

I heard the new processors will work only with Win10, is that possible?

>>56040768
run win7 virtually in a light linux like ubuntu and windows is easy to install. This ended up being my solution when win7 wouldn't recognize my ssd. Ran lubuntu on it (just cause) and installed win7 on a virtual machine. It was a bit of doing but it works pretty good.

>>56040956
if that were true, wouldn't you be able to afford a better setup?
Using a gaming laptop for work is pathetic

>>56041048
Thank you.

>>56041014

In theory yes. If they restrict the processor drivers to Win10 only, they'd be forcing everyone into using it.

>>56041073
I live in a shit coutry. So no. And now all laptops seem to have UEFI.

>>56041124
Well, what about user-made drivers then? Like the nVidia ones? Or this is a problem?

>>56041014
i've had weird issues installing 7 here and there, strange since i've done it an absurd amount of times. my 5 year old motherboard is uefi bios though, and it installs fine. i usually install using mbr formatted drive because reasons, but it should work with gpt too. I've never tried it on a drive that came pre installed with 10 though, i would assume there may be some issues with that, but wouldn't be an issue if you format the drive first

Also, this fucking shit?

I am not aware of anyone ever even attempting to write CPU drivers.

>>56041139
i doubt you'd see user created cpu drivers for windows. chip manufacturers in theory would have little incentive to not support win7, unless m$ pays them more than the revenue they'd lose out on, at least until win7 isn't used by anyone anymore.

>>56041131
Have you tried to set it to "legacy boot" in the uefi settings?

>>56041158
AFAIK I had several issues too, mostly with booting the Win7 setup. It just didn't see the USB storage during device selection - after choosing Legacy boot in BIOS/UEFI. When I came back to the setup the boot settings were reset to defaults.
>>56041173
Well, maybe just modified, like for nVidia cards, not created.

>>56040768
>go into the UEFI settings
>disable secure boot and enable BIOS

Wew that was hard

>buy 2016 hardware
>waaaah my deprecated 2009 software dont work right

Windows users really are fucking dumb. You don't see Linux users downloading distros from 2009 and complaining that their new system doesn't work right because kernel doesn;t support their HW.

They get the latest version.
If you don't like the latest version of X get the latest version of something else and if they all suck choose the one that sucks the least for you.

>>56041241
I'm going to explain myself to you. I've listed enough reasons already, despite that nobody needs them for this thread.

>>56041230
I tried this, still Legacy kept resetting and I didn't see the USB stick drive.

>>56040768
Why do you claim w7 is dead and afterwards you admit you have no clue what you are doing?

Converting between mbr and gpt takes like 5 seconds but you are too fucking stupid to google it and instead ask here.

>>56040768
I need Win10 like I need another hole in my face.

I seem to be doing just fine without MicroJew's latest theftware. ..

>>56041745
Same here, man.

>>56041685
Because it used to be easier to install Win7, now it's harder. I've succeeded this time, but I'm thinking about what happens when my laptop stops working. Get it now?

>>56041789
Do what everyone normal does... steal a spare installation disc from work!

>>56041789
>Why did you lie
>Cuz im stupid
Thats not an excuse

>>56041669
That's what you get for buying a laptop.
