Install windows 7 on Hp 245 G7

[Rahul_Sid]

Windows 10 was slow as hell on my notebook. The boot was slow and system lagged. I got so much frustrated that I moved to Linux mint. But I need to use some windows applications so need Windows 7 or 8 as I never want to opt win 10. Is there any way I can install win 7 or 8?

Laptop: HP 245 G7

Answer is: NO

You have only 4GB ram, that's not enough to run virtualbox to install windows 7/8 vm !
