Asus G551JW installing Windows 7 Disaster !!!!!!!! HELP

[dunedune]

Just Horrible things happened !!!!!!!!
I dont know where exactly should i start , i tried to make Dual operating systems win 8& 7 in different Boot setup ,but i noticed that Asus stupid motherboard locked this option to make a separated Drive to install windows 7 .... While the middle of installation windows 7 the laptop crashes automatically for unknown error then it deleted windows 8.1 and 7 and the following crash error appeared ( the OME gate is locked by manufacture ) and another disaster happened that SSD hardisk integrated with HDD in 1 drive "930GB" ....

Then I successfully installed windows 7 ultimate 64Bit on my G551JW ! but now another problems appeared that " Most of Drivers are not supported "... Seriously the OS running good as well but the issue is most of drivers from asustek no longer working !!!
So be aware do not downgrade to win 7 EVER , maybe am the only 1 who was too courage to do this ! And now am gonna install windows 8.1 again with missing files of course ....

I need just a request please , if i will install windows 8.1 from official Microsoft edition,that means no drivers will be shipped with clean installation!!! So i have to download everything from beginning! .... I need some 1 who had same model to upload his model Backup with all drivers please instead of doing many ugly instructions ! Is it possible !?


Specific ADVICE : If you are trying to make a Dual-Boot operating systems its quite impossible in this Model .

I Know Windows 8 & 10 are So Ugly ,But Windows 7 is completely unusable to run drivers 😞
I really hope ASUS gonna design supported drivers for Windows 7 😞 😞 😞 😞 😞

yes, if they still have the recovery partition intact they can just make a copy of it (fastest way) and upload it somewhere. from there is easy

i understand mate, we all have our likes and dislikes, i just told you about those options because you can keep the license intact (never tried win 7 on my laptop so i do not know)

ps: the key you have will only work for home version not pro and so on

Okay I will search more about users who had same model , Thanks

You don't need to put it anywhere, when you clean install the key will automatically be read by the install for windows 8 8.1 and 10

Update : For long time searching in google , I found out theres some tools and methods to detect OEM Key .. I used OemKey tweak to detect it but I still don't know where to put it 😞

Dude you don't put it anywhere, when you install win 8 or 8.1 it will be automatically read from your UEFI by the install.
You only need to download and install the version your notebooks came with Core Pro or single language.

So if I followed this tutorial the C Drive will back to 373GB and D drive 565GB ??? ...

[Clintlgm]

And the issue is?
I lost track it seem you formatted your drive if you want C and D or you want C only? it up to you, you can make it either way. 'MiniTool partition wizard If you come out with C only shrink C to create unused space then create D in that unused space. If you have C and D just delete D and then expand C into the unused space deleting D left.

Here is an explanation of what partition are

The 24 GB is for Cache only there not enough room for an OS and Programs that why it had no drive letter.
