Laptop. Windows 10, Trying to install W7. MBR / GPT issue
Hi,
Got a new Lenovo Yoga 500 with Windows 10 64bit.
I want to change to W7 - I have a windows 7 image on a disk. No DVD reader.
I copied the contents of the image to a clean, formatted NTFS external HDD. It's connected via USB3.
When I try to install W7 on the main system HDD, it says it's in GPT format and needs to be on MBT.
But I can't convert the system partition to MBT, because the system is there.
Also making a new virtual partition doesn't work, because the "diskpart" command doesn't recognize it as a separated disk.
Any advice here?
Thanks.
