Hi forum
So I was trying to downgrade my new laptop from windows 8 to windows 7.
It didn't go as it was supposed to. When setting my boot settings to "UEFI" it couldn't boot from the usb key with the ISO file on it. When BIOS setting was set to "Legacy" though, it recognized the installation program just fine. It just told me that since the harddrive was a GPT partition style, it couldn't install on it. So I reformatted the harddrive. (Stupid...)
Now it can't recover using automatic repair, and I don't have the windows 8 disc, since the laptop had windows 8 preinstalled.
What can I do to use my computer again, without having to buy a new OS disc?
Best regards
Aleksander
