I have an expensive piece of software that only runs on Windows 7.  I have a SSD for Win 7, but the install hangs.  Is there any luck in installing Windows 7 on this machine?

    Enter the BIOS menu. Go to the BOOT tab to change boot filter from UEFI bootstrapper to Legacy BIOS. You may or may not have to first set and save a supervisor password in the SECURITY tab and then re-enter the BIOS with the password to do this. The SSD to install Win7 must be MBR-partitioned not GPT-partitioned for Windows 7 to boot from it. Jack E/NJ

    Hello JackE. Can you explain how to locate the "boot filter" My TC-895 does not appear to have that option even if I set and save a security password. thank you

    After entering the BIOS menu with the supervisor password, check for a boot mode option in the BIOS BOOT tab. If not visible, try pressing CTRL+S to see if it appears. Jack E/NJ
