What CPU do you have?

That isn't enough information to help you. 

 

What device are you booting windows from, and what device are you trying to install windows on? 

Also is your motherboard set to UEFI boot or Legacy (BIOS)?

Only Windows 10 will work right on that CPU.

Windows 7 and 8 don't officially work properly and get updates on 7th and 8th gen Intel CPUs, along with Ryzen. It's very common knowledge.

This is just an installation issue. Windows 7 can be installed with no issue, he just needs to install it on USB 2.0 or DVD

That's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the updates not officially working.

Yeah but are you installing to a Standard 7200 rpm hard drive, or SSD, or other?  (it's very important to note what it is if it's "other" because that could be half the problem).  Is it attached via Sata, M.2, or PCIe?
