Hi, i received my cosmos 2 laptop today....and well I have 1 gripe...and that is Windows 8.1 is pants. I really cant get along with using it.
Anyways i had an old copy of windows 7, so decided to install it....but cant access the bios to change the boot sequence, as the start-up doesn't load from the disk straight away.
Anyone know how to access the bios? On start-up it goes straight to the PC Specialist logo and doesn't even state which key to press to access it, i've tried spamming DEL/F2/F6/F8 Shift F8....all the ones i know and nothing.
The only partial success i had was installing windows 7 via the current installation of 8.1 (which resulted on start-up of a dual-boot option), but when i choose windows 7 it hangs on the windows logo.
Is a dual windows 7/8 boot easy to do?
I just cant understand why it has been made so difficult to uninstall/change the installation of windows, or even to access the bios
Laptop details are as follows:
PC Specialist Cosmos II X15 Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i3-4100M 2.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 15.6" TFT, DVDRW, GTX 740M, Webcam, Bluetooth, 3Yr Warranty, Windows 8 64bit
Thanks all in advance
