    Thumbs up Downgrading from Win8 to Win7 on a pre-built OEM Laptop/PC

    Using Rufus i prepared a usb drive with a MBR (not GPT) partition scheme for bios or UEFI computers in NTFS format.
    Disable Safeboot in BIOS
    Switch to Legacy from UEFI option, if available

    At first installer screen Press Shift + F10 to open a Command Box, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SEL DIS 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
    CLEAN
    CONVERT MBR
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400 (for 100gb partition, adjust as desired)
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
    ACTIVE
    EXIT
    EXIT

    Next click Install Now to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created.
