Hi, Im Colt and I recently purchased a HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p100dx and it came with windows 8.1 I have to use windows 7 at work and currently cannot install it from my flash drive due to the way the hard drive is partioned for 8.1 Will need drivers for windows 7 for this motherboard and chipset. And need to know how to get to command propt from startup prior to going into windows from what I figure. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I just bought this laptop and downgraded it to win7.
1st thing you need to do is boot to bios (f10)
In the bios you need to enable legacy then save (f10)
Boot menu (f9) at start up.
Selct boot device (usb or dvd)
Custom install and delete all partitions
Then install win7
As far as drivers go, it took me a lot of looking to find all of them.
I now have a backup of all the drivers if you need them.
I am curently going through the process of doing all the windows updates.
I will post a link later when i get home for drivers
Win7 runs great on this laptop.
