Blog post: \r<br>\r<br>Here I show how to remove the Win8 that comes with the Acer Aspire One 756 and replace it with a Win7 from USB drive.\r<br>\r<br>The BIOS has to be correctly set up to allow Legacy BIOS boot mode.\r<br>\r<br>Also, the Win8 GPT protection has to be removed when the installer reaches the point of having to select the partition where Win7 will be installed. You will se a message saying something like windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style\r<br>\r<br>To do so you have to press Shift + F10 and a console will show up. In the console you can call the diskpart command to use the disk partition utility. Use the following commands:\r<br>- To see a list of available disks:\r<br>list disk\r<br>- To select a disk (Im using 0 as the disk number in my example):\r<br>select disk 0\r<br>- To see available partitions:\r<br>list partiiton\r<br>- To remove all partitions from the selected disk and also remove the GPT protection (WARNING: This completely deletes all partitions from the selected disk):\r<br>clean\r<br>- You can check that the partitions where deleted by listing the partitions again:\r<br>list partition\r<br>\r<br>To learn how to prepare the USB drive with the Win7 installer check my other video: \r<br>\r<br>For more tutorials go to:
