I recently bought a hp 15 notebook(15r-119TU) ....It has win 8.1 preinstalled on it... now i want to install win 7 on it... i have inserted my win 7 setup disk..but i'm not getting any option to boot from CD/DVD in the start up screen... it's just getting booted up in win 8.1 ...I have enabled the boot from CD/DVD function from BIOS ... but still not getting the black screen "press any key to boot from CD/DVD" with this message... I have checked my win 7 setup disk...it's all ok... So what's the rpoblem with it... plzz help... thnx in advance

"I have enabled the boot from CD/DVD function"
The optical drive must be set as the first boot device - - then save & exit BIOS Setup.

But don't bother, I just checked the HP website and they do not support Windows 7 on that model, in other words they don't have any Windows 7 drivers for it. You will be searching the net for months looking for drivers to make everything work.

Leave Windows 8 on it or you'll be sorry.

just out of curiosity - doesnt windows 8 use same drivers as windows 7? just like 7 use same as Vista
anyways if it cant have win7 then just personalize the 8.1 you can disable the boot to start menu and make it look almost completely like 7
