Installing Windows 7 on a UEFI system

Terry · 2014-06-05 20:27:04

Packard Bell Z5WT3 I can't do it. I've searched for a solution, and they all tell me that entering a supervisor password and disabling secure boot will sort it out. I've done that, but it still only gives the UEFI option. It does not offer the legacy mode. Is there a way to transfer a copy of Windows 7 from the original…

Is there a way to transfer a copy of Windows 7 from the original disc to a blank DVD or USB drive, and get it to boot on a UEFI only system?

It's currently running 64 bit Windows 8.1 .
I tried 32 and 64 bit Windows 7.

Will give that thingy a go in the morning.
Cheers.
