Install W7 on Preinstalled W10 Dell Laptop

[Dave_83]

Hello guys

I have following problem: I wanted to install W7 on my preinstalled W7 Dell Inspiron 7559 Laptop. Because I could not click "next" on the W7 Install I watched a video which told me to fix this my going into the diskpart and cleaning my disk through this commands:

Spoiler

Once in Windows setup, hit shift+F10 to bring up the command line.
>diskpart [enter]
>list disk [enter]
From the list above (assuming you have more than one HD installed, if not it'll be the only one), find the number corresponding to your HD.
>select drive [number] [enter]
>clean all [enter] * see note below
>create partition primary [enter]
>select partition 1 [enter]
>active [enter]
>format fs=ntfs [enter] ** see note
>assign [enter]
>exit [enter]
>exit [enter]

Now whenever I start the W7 update it says it can't find any drivers.


Help me out please, I've been trying to fix this for hours.

Hi,

Your laptop should have backward compatibility when it comes with it's USB ports. If it uses USB 3.0, a USB 2.0 should work just fine.

Please do try this video link that may help.

Here's also a thread that's related to that concern.

I went onto the dell Website and found the drivers above. What do I have to do with them now?
By the way I think I know what caused all these problems: Before installing I cleaned my Disk 0 by following command: Once in Windows setup, hit shift+F10 to bring up the command line.
>diskpart [enter]
>list disk [enter]
From the list above (assuming you have more than one HD installed, if not it'll be the only one), find the number corresponding to your HD.
>select drive [number] [enter]
>clean all [enter] * see note below
>create partition primary [enter]
>select partition 1 [enter]
>active [enter]
>format fs=ntfs [enter] ** see note
>assign [enter]
>exit [enter]
>exit [enter]

Which drivers do I have to download and how can I put them on my Laptop through my USB stick?

 

[captaincharisma]

the drivers should be exe files that you can just click on and they will install. if not then you will have to go into device manger and install them

download onto your usb stick the audio, chipset, network(intel wireless & realtek pcie) & possibly both video drivers.
