Cheers, quiet Sunday evening here so plenty of time to muck it up
Hi Wynona
Yup long shot unfortunately I have had this laptop for a couple of months now, try as I have to adjust to Win 10 its just not happening so not able to roll back. Imagine to drama I'm having with the Macbook pro I purchased now there's a system that doesmy head in, I was trying it to be open minded .. . . . . . hmm if anyone can offer a good package to sync ipad without going to itines I all ears

The story so far . . . . . .I got into the Bios and eventually get the thing to boot from DVD, having not dispalyed a DVD in the first place (should have seen the warning signs) inserted Win7 Disk and rebooted fine, reads disk and then bang Blue Screen of death, happens 3 times so far I am begining to think Win 10 and Asus just don't want to play
Pixie, I've read elsewhere that some newer computers will no longer allow anything older than Windows 10 to be installed. However, this might help:
Install Windows 7 on a Windows 10 Desktop - Microsoft Community
@Pixie, I hope you've done your backup et all...
X540 isn't easy to install Windows 7 on (to my surprise, as it's not so new after all).
Check this thread and quote from it: tomshardware - unable-install-windows-brand-asus-x540s-laptop-bsod-error
Warning, guy managed to install Windows 7, but some drivers are missing..Something somewhat amazing has happened, Windows 7 is installed!! However, now there is no USB or touchpad functionality. Drivers? I managed to get the WIFI working, but no mouse or touchpad.
Anyway, here is how I managed to install Windows 7 after all…
There was a setting in BIOS called I/O Security and in there was Card Reader Interface. I switched from Unlock to Lock and to my amazement, no BSOD!!
hmmm . . . . . does seem a nightmare, thanks for posting. I will persist. I want my laptop to perform my way, or am i just being stubbon
