Hello:
I bought a new hp laptop with W10 pre-installed, I like to install W7 also, so I create a new partition D:, and when trying to install W7, I got error message that disk isn't mbr type, it's gpt.
is there ant trick to install W7 on a gpt disk?
 
Oh, also make sure you are installing Windows 7 64-bit, the 32-bit edition cannot be installed to a GPT disk.
 
Thanks for reply!
I disabled legacy support and restarted, for boot options I just have 2 choices: either from "OS boot manager (UEFI) - Windows boot manger (hard disk)" or from "boot from EFI file", I don't have "from DVD" option.

is it possible to put W7 into a USB flash and boot from? if yes how that?
thanks
