    Windows 8 to windows 7 and back to windows 8...HELP!
    « on: May 23, 2015, 04:20:50 PM »
    model number G750JW Republic of Gamers Asus

    Had windows 8 on an Asus laptop, got the blue screen of death and was advised to boot the computer with the windows 7cd I had. Was walked through that but then I found out that some devices on my laptop (like the ethernet device) do not have windows 7 drivers. So I have to go back to windows 8. I do not have a CD because my computer didnt come with one even though I did buy it new...

     

    I go to boot and windows 7 is all that shows up in the options.

     

    I've looked all over the internet and havent found anything to help me.

     

    Anyone feeling like being a poor redneck morons savior?

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
    You may have been bad advice.
    Before making big changes to hour computer, you should have made a b ackup plan.
    It seems your adviser not tell you.
    You need to read over your documentation and look on the web site. It may be possible to get a DVD from the maker of the computer for a small fee. An alternative is to locate somebody who has the same computer and have him  make a copy of the system. Because you have the COA number, this is legal.
    Try this link:

    Or write them and ask for support.

    Correct.  Also, a download option is explained at https://neosmart.net/wiki/asus-recovery-disk/
