My nephew went and bought a new Acer Aspire TC-710, which has Windows 10 on it, and immediately complained. He tried to downgrade it (the wrong way) and system is a mess.
After some effort figuring out how to get the BIOS to switch to Legacy, I finally got the Win7 disc he bought to load, however, as soon as it gets to the first screen acting for language, the keyboard and mouse won't load. Keyboard works in the BIOS, and both are connected by USB. Older mouse/keyboard as well, I use for installs and fixing so I don't have to unplug the ones from my PC.
I'm thinking that the USB drivers won't load when hits the Win7 screen and likely if Win7 installed it may not work anyways because I don't think Acer made drivers for it. But, since he ran out and bought Win7 I figured I'd ask here before I tell him he wasted his money.
- Will Win7 work on this system? How do I get the keyboard/mouse to work in the setup screens?
- If he hates Win10 that much, will Win8 work at least on here?
- Do I save myself the time and tell him to suck it up and use Win10?
