czaderak Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's usually problematic to boot w7 that was installed on one laptop on another laptop due to hardware differences. What you're talking about are probably OEM versions which are additionally protected from being booted on different PCs. Internet is right - if you want this to work you probably have to install w7 once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obayll Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Check if the BIOS or something else is trying to force the computer to try to boot up Windows 8. Check on the ASUS forums first and if you can't find anything there try to move the original hard drive back into your laptop and just reinstall windows 7 on the that hard drive.
