    Hello, I bought a LENOVO Ideapad 110-15IBR laptop and I can't install WIN7 on it, but WIN10 installs normally and is currently installed in the laptop, but I prefer WIN7 and I'd rather have it than 10.

    What I did: botable pendriv from windows 7 x64 using Rufus program all 3 options I tested: BMR for UEFI and BIOS, MBR for UEFI and the last GPT for UEFI file system I chose FAT32.

    I set Lagacy and UEFI on my laptop (including disabling Secure Boot or something like that)

    And either the laptop hangs on "Starting Windows" or the message crashes that there are no drivers and so I choose them from the disk (I have Win10 installed and on C I have USB drivers from the manufacturer's website) for windows 7 x64 the window shows files but during uploading it crashes message that no device was found, etc. My hands are falling down so do to install win7 on this paw?
    Tonight I will try to run win7 from the disc because there is a DVD drive in it.

    Try another copy of the system, maybe the iso with windows 7 is damaged.

    I checked 3 versions, including the one installed on my PC.

    Why not NTFS?

    RADU23 wrote well, the pendrive should be formatted to NTFS. Instead of rufus use Yumi, this message also appeared to me, the system version was to blame, only the version with added drivers works.

    Good job settled, I managed to put the system through a DVD drive (in the sense I fired the win7 disc), thanks for your help.
