Installing W7 on my ASUS X205

theFOoL · Jul 24, 2016

Is it possible? I tried THIS and it shows up in BIOS but just blinks when I click on it. What am I doing wrong? *Pictures soon...*

I just want to try cause know one else has

Come on guys. If a W10 USB Stick can run on my ASUS X205 then W7 should. When I try W7 it just loads W10 but the BIOS sees the USB Stick but just doesn't load the Setup

That thing is practically a tablet. I don't think Windows 7 runs on tablets. Did you create a UEFI USB drive? You probably need to install 32-bit Windows 10. The storage is 32 GB. As far as I know 32-bit W7 doesn't support UEFI.

Official, it is only for win 10, so you will have hard work to make it work with 7...

I just wanted to see that's all. Its a 32bit cpu so only 32bit OSs but at least I want to try. I used Rufus

The CPU should be 64-bit but you just don't have enough space on the storage for a 64-bit Windows. Windows 7 is just too old and doesn't support the hardware. There are some laptops that need an UEFI update to run Windows 7. I highly doubt that one will get such support.

I tried Linux MINT but after installing it, it didn't boot but into BIOS so I reinstalled windows 10

I just want to at least try to install w7

You could try using Windows 7 64-bit. For Rufus you should choose MBR partition scheme for UEFI or GPT partition scheme for UEFI. 64-bit takes a lot of space. 32 GB should be enough but it won't remain much storage space. As I said it probably won't work.

if this don't work I'll try linux again but when I did before it just didn't boot to linux but into the bios
