toshiba p850 manual with windows 8, how to install windows7

February 3rd, 2020

OK….have managed to partition the 1tb into 150gb for win 8, unallocated 140gb [intended for win 7] and the rest as a storage partition.
In power options, disabled fast shutdown [win 8 sets this as bios default; even though you choose shutdown, in reality it just goes to deep hibernation. Then when you restart it just resumes.
Hold f2 key as turn on the power button, and have got into bios setup. Changed boot order to dvd first.
Still booted straight to win 8. The install dvd I wanted to use [48in1oemx86x64] will not boot. I have used the same dvd in my desktop, and it booted into install, so obviously the dvd is bootable.
Why won’t it boot on my laptop?
Can win7 be installed [as a dual boot?] on a win 8 machine?
All help appreciated !!

Answer #1
Why not to format the whole drive and Install fresh?
