Trying to reinstall Windows 7 Home premium from Windows 8 Pro

Nolbu · Jan 11, 2014

Hi, I have just installed Windows 8 pro and I don't like it. I tried it for a day but I think it has too many unnecessary functions, which drives me crazy. I tried to re-boot with Windows 7 disc in it, but I am unable to select anything using keyboard and mouse on windows 7 installation step (where i choose language and input). Please help.

It should be located either in the Boot Options Menu or in the BIOS/UEFI
