Hello there, 

 

 

I have been trying to install windows 7 ultimate using from USB on my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 (Model: b153cl) but unfortunately even after changing the boot order on bios to the USB device it's still not picking up the USB to clean install windwos 7. 

 

Machine came with pre-installed windows 8, and I hate that.

 

Can someone help me figure out the issue here... cause i have used the same bootable USB (windows 7) on another machine and it worked without any issues. 

 

Thanks 

 

Mike

Have you turned off secure boot in the BIOS and enabled legacy boot? If the machine originally came with Windows 8 secure boot is enabled by default and it will block booting from Windows 7 media.
