Can’t install windows on laptop

[Malchyk1994]

I can’t install windows on my new laptop. See blue screen all the time. I have already updated bios for this laptop and it didn’t help at all

@Malchyk1994 If you're trying to install a 64bit version of Windows 7 and the HDD has a GUID Partition Table, 

• Shutdown the notebook, Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Start-up Menu and then select the Bios Menu ( f10 ).
• Under the System Configuration tab, expand the Boot Options Menu.
• You need to set Secure Boot to Disabled and Legacy Devices to Enabled.
• When done, press f10 and select to save the changes.
• You may then have to enter a 4 digit pin displayed on the screen to confirm the setting changes - enter the code and hit enter.
• Insert the Windows 7 installation disc and Shutdown the notebook.
• Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Start-up Menu and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

Use the arrow keys to highlight the CDROM/USB (uefi) option and hit enter - if prompted to 'Press any key to continue....' - do so.

If you have a new laptop, you've never installed windows & your system is running with free dos than you'll need to ensure the drive is changed to NTFS format.

1. Choose custom installation.
2. Press shift+F10 (DOS windows will appear).
Now type
3. Disk part [Press Enter]
4. List disk [Press Enter] (You should see only Disk 0).
5. Sel disk 0 [Press enter]
6. Clean [Press enter]

Close the dos windows & click refresh.
Now you can create partitions and install windows.
