windows Can i install Windows 7 after i do the "Remove files and clean the drive" option on Windows 10?

[HerosHyper]

Hi.

 

I have a old PC that does have Windows 10 on it. But his Hardware doesn't support Windows 10. For Example the Monitor won't do the right Resolution because GPU drivers doesn't support Windows 10.

 

So i decided to install Windows 7. Because his Hardware supports Win7.

 

I tried so much things to install W7. But it didn't worked.

 

So my question is:

 

Can i install Windows 7 With a bootable USB created with USB Tool by Microsoft after i use the "Remove files and clean the drive" option on Windows 10. And will it install Windows 10 again after i do it?

I dont want to use the other setting (Just remove my files) because i tried it already and he installed Windows 10 again.

 

Please dont say another option like just boot from usb because it doesnt work because of non-installed drivers.

Have you tried completely deleting the partition with the windows install? You shouldn't even need to remove files and clean the drive, the Windows 7 installer should allow you to simply delete any and all partitions existing already on the drive and make a new one for Windows install

Yes, you can boot using a bootable drive. Remember to correctly set MBR/GPT. If you have important data, you will want to create a separate partition for it

@HerosHyper Yes I know I call all storage things a drive. Older motherboard used the MBR (master boot record) system. Newer motherboard use UEFI interface and the GPT system. What motherboard have you got ?

I burned a disk. But Windows didn't recognize it.

You need to make USB boot highest prioroty in the BIOS

[Faisal A]

Use the MBR system in that case.

OK.

 

But i tried this while Windows 10 was installed and PC said:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or Software change might be the cause.

I am creating a new Bootable USB. Hope it will work.

 

Thanks for the help @Faisal A!

Go into BIOS > boot > edit boot priority 1 to USB. It should work them unless you used GPT or 32bit for 64bit or vice versa
