Downgrading to Windows 7 from 10 on Acer Inspire V5-591G

[mrrichp]

Help.

I require to downgrade my laptop to Windows 7, but I get the Load CD\DVD Driver error.

In the Bios, there is not much at all I can change, apart to Legacy Mode (which I have done). but still get the error.

I think, after dredging through forums that the ACHI or USB Drivers may need to be installed\loaded, I have downloaded the ACHI driver from the Acer Website, but cannot seem to load these drivers when prompted too.

Anyone have a dummy guide to doing this\installing Windows 7.

Have you tried using a usb flash drive instead of the cd/dvd?
The Windows USB Creation Tool makes it very easy.

The only drivers for that laptop are for Windows 10, 64-bit. You might end with half-functioning laptop (if you are able to install WIndows 7 at all).

Note: Correct name is "Aspire". Insipre resembles Dell's
