Hi, I am trying to install windows 7 because windows 10 is the biggest pain in the world. I put in the windows 7 installation disk, I go through the startup, click custom setup, and it brings up my ssd and my hdd, so I try to install to my ssd at first, but it says there is not enough space. I clear it, because I plan on just installing from scratch anyways. It then says that it cannot be installed because the partition is GPT. I then try to do it on my hdd, and it gives an error (0x803000024). This really scared me, because I removed all the data from my two drives. I reboot my computer and it somehow starts up, but I find that my hdd drive is completely gone, but my ssd drive is still present, obviously. I look online, and I find a program called AOMEI Partition assistant standard, and I somehow manage to make another hdd drive, with the same amount of space as before. Can someone guide me step by step on how to install windows 7? Here are my specs if that helps any, and if you need more information just reply and guide me on how to achieve it. Thanks!

Thanks for replying. I did that, but when trying to install on my hdd, it gave me that error I stated in OP, and when trying to install it on my ssd, it would say that it's a GPT Drive, therefore not installing. What do I do from there?
