HP 14-ac100na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I purchased the HP 14-ac100na for £100 on ebay and it came with windows 10 64 bit pre installed with 2gb of RAM and 32gb SSD which I presume it is soldered in. I found out they is no warranty for this laptop. This laptop is always on 100% CPU Usage when they is nothing running. I have removed Mcafee and some unwanted software which came pre installed with this laptop.

I have a copy of Windows 8.1 embedded on my USB which I got from Microsoft Dreamspark now called Microsoft Imagine and I want to install on this laptop but when I go through the boot device options it does not show up at all. The only options I can see are Windows Boot Manager and Boot into EFI File. i10^pimgo_distr.jpg

 

All I want is this Operating system to be installed, I have checked for drivers for this laptop which can support windows 7 or windows 10. I know I can use some of the drivers via windows 7 drivers. I'm going to attach a picture of the bios menu so the HP Community can see and help me out.

 

Thanks,
