Hello, I just got a brand new ASUS laptop and it came with windows 8.1 OS

I don't like 8.1 so I've being trying to install windows 7 into the system but its not working.

Am a computer engineer, but I've never seen anything like this before, don't know if the issue is with Asus or windows 8.1.

Help please, I really need to get back to windows 7

can u get to d bios and see if there is a way to enable legacy os...

can u check for your product no on ur laptop. it usually ends with ******#***... if u can get it for me.. i will post the links back 2 u.. morealso u can use hp.com, click on support and den drivers... paste your product number before the hash tag lets say LEOIE#AEA just paste LEOIE.. if it doesnt find your drivers, be sure to change your country from united states to africa.. gud luck

gingger:
tanks will get back to u wen d system arrives

ok no probs

gingger:
thanks does it mean I can install an OS myself.. pls if yes Will windows 8 b idea for a core i3 laptop as shown in d screenshot above

it depends on you.. win7 or win8.. both re gud on the specs u ve got...... but just search the manufacturers site first for avaliable drivers.. but i bet they will be there.. gudluck

gingger:
pls I wanna buy a system and am seeing free DOS as d OS.. wat does it mean.. pls before I order..

it means there will be no operating system on the pc when you buy it.. some PC manufacturers tend to shift some biils down the consumer line so as to reduce cost of sales on their own part.. Instead of them paying for the OEM version of windows 2 be be pre-installed, they dont and instead leave you on that path to foot the bill thereby making the system cheaper than the one that comes with windows pre-installed.


its not something to be worried about..

This is very urgent and would like adetwin to fix it. could you please
let me know if you cant make it, so I can ask him to take it to minna.

I'd look forward to your reply by 10am this morning as have been
waiting for a reply

@deji niger state is not delta to lagos... I guess the risk is on the high side....

Hello Adetwin,

I have a job for you and not sure if you would make it.

The location is federal polytechnic, bida, niger state.


The laptop is a toshiba A300 intel 4gb ram. The laptop was purchased from
Uk in good working order, however it began to shut itself down.

I have told him to use it on a flat surface and to put some stones underneath to
enable movements of air, the problem continues. He said the fan was not rolling.

I got him to the bios and it turned off again, however the laptop stays for an hour when
left to cool down. This is a job from me to you, if you can, do you sort it out there and there
or do you take it away? let me know cost, so i can give him the money to give you after
fixing the problem. I honestly think the nigeria temperature has contributed to it.

I want to believe that you're able to do it, rather than sending him another one.

I am waiting urgently.

oga deji u nor like adetwin @ all....niger state..over 2 u adetwin dem don give u location oya make ur engineers go fix am ooooo...

Gospel367: I guess that means you cant in anyway get it across to owerri but thanks for trying and replying.

i dont know how much i can use in parceling it down 2 u.. abi u nor go find me small tin... it should not be less dan 2k plus eye saw make i say 3k.. warri 2 owerri is abt 2500 or thereabout..

Gospel367: I want to install a flavour of linux on an old laptop and I have decided to go for linux mint 13 xfce but the problem is that the size of the iso image is too large (up to 820mb) and i doubt any of nigerian network will be fast enough to download it and even if it fast, i dont have cash now to subscribe for a plan. So I want to know whether it is possible to get these my choice of linux flavour that is already burned into a cd or dvd at a minimal cost or from someone who already used it or does not need it anymore or from someone who is kind enough to help a brother in need....besides, am new to linux and this laptop happen to be my first laptop and i will also love a guide or a link to the guide for dualbootin it with windows 7. I live in owerri, imo state and will be happy if i meet any linux geek from this area. thanks

owerri far l 4rm delta.. i for help u...
