Did I break my computer forever by trying to install window 7 on a computer with window 8.1?
>>57109886
I don't know, did you?
>>57109898
I feel like I did. It has a black screen when I log into it. My dad is going to kill me please help :(
>>57109909
He was going to kill you anyways. Might as well order an exit kit and save him the trouble.
I don't know but I sure hope so.

Guys is it possible to factory reset a computer with an OS boot on a USB.
>>57110193
Just put W10 on a USB and reinstall, kid.
>>57110217
I've tried that and I can't. Whenever I try to reset it it says it's missing media or files or something. I have Windows 8.1 btw.
>>57110282
Not anymore you don't. You're running black screen 2016 edition now.
>>57110306
Please help me :(
>>57110326
wish I could help
just bumping because Im a win 7 master race and this is deeply troubling what happened to you
>>57110282
You'll have to reinstall from scratch. As in say goodbye to all your hentai and poorly written fanfics and format the drive and do a fresh install.
It's definitely kill. Why would you ever attempt to do that? Get a new PC kid.

Is there a way to do that without downloading anything on my broken computer? I still have e another computer that can install shit on my USB and things like that. I can only start my computer on safe mode or else the display is completely black.

the fuck did you do wrong?
i installed 7 over 8 via usb and it was easy as shit
it even put all my files into windows.old without having to manually back anything up, it was cash

I don't have a product key. Plus, I have window 8.1 (pirated) on a USB already but it still won't let me reset.
>>57110540
Honestly idk. I pirated window 7 and ran the setup.exe and clicked the second button, I can't remember what it was but it was installing shit and stuff and during the first restart, I got an error saying some files got corrupted and now if I continued start up normally it's just a black screen.
>>57110589
You don't need a product key to install W10.
>>57110603
Oh. Ok I'll be back tomorrow if it won't work. :)))
>>57110621
It'll ask for a product key but you can skip that step and install without it. I still haven't bothered to activate mine and I installed it like 6 months ago.
