suicide is your only option

>My laptop doesn't support Windows 7.
This can't be true unless something is locked down in the BIOS shirley?

What's this Embedded 8.1 meme all about anyways? How and why is it better than regular Windows?

I've checked the manufacturer's site for my laptop model, but they don't have drivers for Windows 7. Plus, the last time I tried Windows 7 on my laptop, my vidya doesn't work well with it.

Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB

What does it show in others? Chances are you find driver for W7 there and/or somewhere else. Whats your video card?

You could also try installing 8.1 drivers in 7.

Install gentoo. Git good noob

didn't microsoft stop supporting win8 ?

install gentoo faggot

10. But you'll need to disable a lot of things.

Despite what everyone says, 8.1 is fine, just get Start8 and use it to disable the metro crap (couple checkboxes for the charms and start screen), and it's basically an updated 7. Much easier than trying to clean up 10:

>disable the metro crap (couple checkboxes for the charms and start screen)
why? that shit's better than the tacky old start menu, and a lot more useful too.

ive never had a problem with the metro shit i rarely even use it

This is what is in Others. How do I check my video card?
I have Start8, but truth be told, I kind of prefer how Windows 10 looks.

Fuck that. Navigating that POS is a nightmare, it takes up the whole screen and it's still hard to find shit in it.

No one has any other opinions?

are you using a gl552vw by an chance? I do, and both 8.1 and 10 run fine. However, I found a way to install 7, but right now nothing works. No touchpad, no mouse...obänly the keyboard. I'm looking into fixing it though.

I installed Win7 with WinToHDD. Look it up, it may help you.

Install any linux distro instead of getting another cancer proprietary os

for 8.1:

Mainstream support until January 9, 2018
Extended support until January 10, 2023

Does anyone have that really thorough guide on de-fucking windows 10?

There are a bunch online but I know there's one REALLY good one out there.

>My laptop doesn't support Windows 7.

I feared this day would come, but I honestly didn't expect it.

8.1 is pretty good for laptops.

Not op here.

I can't even install win7 on my laptop, cursor missing in the installation.

8.1 enterprise
or if you have to 10 LTSB

Go to the devices manufacturer's website, you'll find the drives there 100%.
Asus site doesn't keep them up to date etc.

>needing pointing device
Son, I am disappoint

Get another updated ISO

8, or linux
