Dual boot Win 7 installation Error on HP Pavilion 15
Hello everybody, I have been using dual boot OS in previous laptops, but this time I
have been unable to install Windows 7 due to installation problems.
Overall IŽd like to know if Win7 can run on the HP Pavilion 15. I need it because
several programs donŽt work in Win 10 even with the compatibility troubleshooter.
What I have tried:
- In Bios: disable safe boot, disable UEFI, enable Legacy. After saving changes,
I check Windows System Information, and it still displays UEFI Mode. I restart
to check the BIOS and it displays Legacy Mode.
- Install from bootable USB. Failed because my laptop has only USB 3.0 ports,
not working with Win7.
- Decompress ISO and do regular install. Failed.
I have read that I may have to downgrade from TPM 2.0 to 1.2
but I couldnŽt find an instalator compatible with my laptop.
The Win10 installation fails after copying files. After restarting
it gives me a boot option to continue with Windows installation, but I
just reach a dark screen.
Any clue on what could I do? Thanks
