Hello guys, we just got a Lenovo computer at my office with windows 8 on it, so we tried installing windows 7 on it which was the users request, as soon as the installation disk says loading files....it then shows the logo and gets stuck....so we tried imaging, deploying windows 7 os from the network which seemed to WORK but still wont get past the logo....but you can hear the sound that the computer is logged in but stuck on the logo...Tried loading with safe mode, still the same result...

so right now we have windows 7 pro installed but stuck on the logo.Details please.
Which Lenovo computer?
Which version of Windows 8?
Where did you get the Windows 7 install disc?
Did you check the Lenovo web site for information abut downgrading?
That have posted information ALREADY about this. Did  you FOLLOW the guidelines given?
How to downgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7
It is not always easy.  Thank you Geek-9pm

1) Lenovo- c3 series
2)The disk belongs to the IT department, i know for sure its certified
3)OS- windows 8.1
4)RAM- 4GB
5)HDD- 500
6)CPU- AMD E1-6010

No guidelines were followed. Perhaps the best thing to do is to acquire a new disk drive or a drive that has been completely wiped free of any information. Then attempt the Windows 7 installation again using the clean drive.
Many times I have done installations of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, but I have not done installations on newer computers that have a tighter relationship between the firmware and the OS. So you have to go into the firmware, the BIOSS ,and set it for the legacy mode so it will allow the Windows 7 DVD to boot and install.
That is as much help as I am able to give you. Perhaps others here have some more specific information about the that particular computer.
Hope this helps. Quote from: raffy347 on November 11, 2015, 01:40:08 PM
