Hi everyone,
I just got this Sony Vaio Fit 15E from a theft reclaim, and it comes with windows 8
I want to install windows 7 on it, so I went to sony website, I downloaded all Win7 drivers for my model, and I created a USB flash drive formatted with FAT32 file system, and a gpt partition scheme for uefi computer, from a windows 7 x64 ISO.
But here's the thing, my computer comes with an assist button that allows me to change BIOS settings (such as booting from external device and configuring boot order), and I know that in order to install windows 7 I need to delete all partitions on my current drive.
So I'm wondering if that assist button will still work after all partitions all deleted, as some of them are titled SONYSYS, Recovery or Reserved partitions.
So I'm hesitating between three things. should I keep some of these partitions, or is there an alternate way to install windows 7, or is there another key I need to push at boot to edit BIOS settings ? (F2-F8-F10 and F12 doesn't seems to do anything)
I know that may seems complicated, i'm pretty lost as it is, so if you need any precisions just ask, any help appreciated.
Sorry for syntax or grammar errors, my native language is French.
Thanks.
