Hello there.
I'm currently trying to downgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and I've enabled legacy mode and disabled secure boot and so on.
However, when I actually get to the install part where I'm going to install Windows 7 with the stick, i get the error as following: "A required cd/dvd drive device is missing."
I think I have figured out what the problem is though, I just dont know how to solve it.
The thing is, this ASUS notebook only has USB 3.0 ports, and seing as a default Windows 7 boot.wim dosn't contain USB 3 controller drivers, it isnt being recognized.
So how can I possibly downgrade the ports of some sort?
Important to note that I can't enter the system anymore, as a faulty install attempt wants me to restore from an earlier saved checkpoint, which I do not have.
Please help.
