Bought an Asus M11BB yesterday and I have no delusions. I don't want Windows 8, I want to install windows 7 (Ultimate) except I can't seem to see how get to Legacy boot. I can't find detailed info online to help me get me there. Please help.

Haven't installed Windows 8.1 and I'literally just after purchase. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually the two options that you would need are provided on the boot tab of Advanced Mode in the ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility.

The first option is Secure Boot, which must be disabled to allow Windows 7 to be installed.

The second option is CSM (Compatibility Support Module). When CSM is disabled, the system operates completely in UEFI. When CSM is enabled, the system firmware emulates BIOS mode or legacy boot.
