I recently purchased a cheap all in one Acer Aspire C24-760, mainly to use as a second PC in my spare room.
It came with Win10 preinstalled, but I want to install Win7 instead. I have bootable USB with win7 on it, that I use for my gaming PC, and just assumed I could use that with the all in one PC.
However, I cannot seem to get the C24-760 to boot from the USB.
I have been through the BIOS setup and tried to set the USB as the first boot device, but it does not show as an option. I was looking through some other settings and saw one that was disabled - CSM. I enabled it to see what would happen and all of a sudden I could see the option for a Generic USB device in my boot options. I thought I was at last victorious, and set that as the first boot device, and saved and reset the PC.
The problem - just a black screen and nothing happens.
I reset the BIOS back to default and was able to boot into Win10 again, but I really would prefer to use Win7. Am I missing something? Is this all in one PC incapable of booting from a USB device?
I would really appreciate any assistance I can get on this issue - I am by no means an expert in this, but I have never had this problem before when building my own PC's from scratch.
Thanks in Advance,
