Got it just now, looks very nice. Starting to put Windows 7 first now.

Well, what the heck???
I tried now for 4 hours to install Windows 7 from USB stick without any success.
Tried 3 different USB sticks (1xUSB3.0 & 2xUSB2.0), one SD card, plus 2 different HDDs, but nothing works. Formatted them in different ways, made them bootable, used several Windows 7 programs that make your stick bootable, tried with and without UEFI setting in BIOS, nothing! The furthest I came, was when it actually starts, but straight away after pressing the INSTALL button, it gives you an error message:"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok".
Some say that using a USB2.0 stick in a USB3 port doesn't work, problem is that I only have USB3 on this laptop. Anyway, I tried a lot of stuff I read online, nothing brought me further.
Tried also with Windows 10, but I get a blue screen with some error message.
Sometimes the Windows Boot Manager says that there's problems with the USB device connected and gives me an IO error.
I cannot install via DVD, as there's no drive, and I don't have an external one.
I gave up now, as I don't have a clue what to do? Totally puzzled :huh:

So I mailed the guy from the shop, and he told me that I need to include a USB3.0 driver on the USB stick, as the laptop only has USB3.0 ports, and Windows 7 doesn't support USB3.0
