    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    General Forum Rules So while I was trying to install Windows 8.1 again on the lap top, I went in Command Prompt somehow and did something where I converted the USB drive to MBR. Frankly, I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing. I was kinda pissed so I was just clicking and entering, clicking and...

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    I've formatted the USB drive and I'm reinstalling Windows 8.1 on it using Rufus. Just as we did way back when about 4 years ago. I mean, I doubt the USB got damaged or anything like that, as I never used this USB again. I doubt that with time it could have gotten damaged. What? Dust? :D So...

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    Well hello everybody. I hope everyone's still alive and well :) So I've been using the lap top for a long time, no problems. Today I decided to format it, and after I get to the page where windows is installing, at 8% it always throws an error, like so: I tried a few things. Changing the USB...

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    I mentioned it in one of my previous replies. Of course, I don't expect anyone to read everything, there's so much. I wanted to throw up Win 7, but wasn't sure, could have been Win 8. And in my search I came across this forum many times with many helpful information. So I decided to ask here...

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    Oh, so the CD has drivers on it. However, it says. "Supported OS: Windows 10 x64" So the lap top then only supports Windows 10? Basically, the Drivers installation window lists me no drivers. I assume because it recognizes I don't have Windows 10, but Windows 7. So I just went through the...

    So, it seems the lap top came with a CD, which I didn't even notice in the box. Let's see if it has anything of value on it, or just a big F YOU inside. Let's see...

    I also tried an external hard drive I have just now. The drive's lights go on, but nothing's happening. The lap top refuses to recognize anything.

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    So I download the Wireless drivers from Acer's website, put the file on an external USB, and plug the USB in the new lap top. The USB isn't recognized. Nothing happens when I plug it in. I tried with 2 different USB's, and none worked. I'm restarting the lap top, to see if a restart gets it...

    New Acer Lap Top came with Linux - How to Install Win 7?

    So Windows 7 installed and all. New lap top won't accept any mouse. I tried 2 of them. Plug the USB, the mouse glows red, so it's getting power. But it just isn't working. Also plugged in an external WIFI antenna I have, to try and connect the lap top to the internet, but it won't even turn on...

    Windows 8.1 PCI Yellow Exclamation Marks

    Well, no I haven't. I installed Windows 8.1 Pro (legit with license codes and all). I ran all updates, again and again, until there were no more left to do. After that I checked, and my sound is working, I have graphic drivers installed, and everything seems to function. So I assumed Windows...

    Windows 8.1 PCI Yellow Exclamation Marks

    Hey guys, So yesterday I formatted my lap top, and installed Windows 8.1 Pro. Activated it and everything. Ran into a problem with Windows Updates being stuck in perpetual "Checking for updates mode." Eventually I solved that too, I believe thanks to this forum. Now I have another "problem."...

    Format Windows 10 - After Update

    So I've been reading about it and thinking about it. I'll install Windows 8.1 and stick with it. Two main reasons. 1) On Windows 10 sometimes my internet just shuts down, and I have to restart the lap top to get it to work again (no, restarting router doesn't solve it, and I tried every...
