Sorry, but I don't have a solution - I'm asking the same question. Please see my other responses on this thread to get a fuller story. There are a lot of reason why you would want to downgrade so I won't ask why as in the IT world i like it I have a LOT of clients who buy brand new machines but still can only run windows 7 because their software won't work on 10 still. otherwise you will have to buy a product key if you don't have one already. Otherwise you could install it VIA a DVD versus a thumb drive but then you can use the mouse/keyboard to load driversĪlso some OEM, like Dell in the case of the PC i mainly use, you can downgrade if 6th gen or lower to windows 7 without needed a product key so long as it is with a OEM windows 7 disk from dell. If it is a 6th gen or lower you might be able to it is just a matter of finding all the drivers AND also seeing if they have a tool to inject the USB 3.0 drivers or some BIOS have the ability to turn all 3.0 slots into 2.0 slot (Most OEM don't have this option though). Uninstall the program and follow instruction by Windows 8 setup.If it is a 7th Gen Intel forget about it. Windows will notice if any Microsoft program is not yet compatible with Windows 8. Windows will check if your system is ready to upgrade. Please DO NOT take out the disc from DVD player before the installation is completed. (If not, please contact your disc providers.)Ĭheck the “ I accept the license terms” to continue.Ĭhoose what kind of upgrade you want and click “ Next”. You should find your product key in your disc package. GIGABYTE will NOT deliver such disc to consumers.īefore the installation, Windows will require you to type in the product Key. You should obtain this installation disc though Microsoft Windows 8 Upgrade Program or a direct purchase of the retail box package. Insert the Windows 8 Installation Disc* in your DVD or BD reading device. Besides that, you will also need a DVD or BD reading device. If you are not sure, you can click “ Start → Control → Panel → System” to see your current Microsoft Windows system. Please confirm your current Microsoft Windows 7 version. Upgrade option only works by Microsoft Windows 8 upgrade plan.
