Product: Pavilion 360 convertable
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a HP pavilion 360 convertable a few months back. I cannont stand the glitchiness of windows 10 so I want to intall Windows 7 on it. I got windows 7 ISO, Windows instal tool, and DIS MGUI. I can make a usb install flash drive but cant find drivers to allow it to get past collecting info screen ( need cd/dvd drivers).

 

Rig

HP pavilion 360 convertible 11m-ad1xx

Intel Pentium (R) silver n5000

51D0GNT

4gig mem

 

Not sure if you need anymore info.

Not worried about Microsoft stoping support for 7 soon. Bought it for size to care at work for school work. Don't want to buy expensive laptop due to high chance of it getting stolen or broken (work on an ambulance).

Hi:

 

You can't install or run W7 on that platform.   It can only run W10 properly.

 

Intel did not develop any USB 3.1 or graphics drivers for any other OS but W10.

 

You can't install W7 because the installer does not have the USB3.1 drivers to continue with the installation process, and the only error it knows how to report when encountering that situation is the one you received.
