Hello. I have a problem. My PC was built up by my friend and came installed with Windows 8. When Windows 10 came I upgraded, but now I want to downgrade to Windows 7... The thing is that whenever I put the Windows 7 cd into my computer it doesn't show me to press a key to boot, so I opened the BIOS for the first time (I pressed F2) but instead of BIOS it showed a weird GUI, with ASUS on it and clock and everything, every BIOS setting but just into a GUI and a mouse, which is also nice.
But when I looked up for what should I use to boot, the only 3 things there were:
SATA (numbers)
- (numbers)
- UEFI (numbers)
something like that...

I looked it up on the internet and it said that I may have BIOS Mode set to UEFI and the Secure Boot on, but it's not like that, they're set on Legacy and Secure Mode Unsupportable, like that:

I could also do take a photo with my phone on the BIOS GUI thingy if that's needed...
please help me

With ASUS you may be presented with EZ mode or Advanced mode. EZ mode which is a very simplified GUI BIOS with monitoring. You can switch to Advanced mode which give you more access within your BIOS.
If you want to boot up the Win 7 disc, you can simply just go into the boot menu and choose to boot the optical drive containing the window 7 disc.
