I installed Windows 8.1 on an old laptop which doesn’t have a UEFI BIOS.
How can I remove it and install Windows 7 again (USB Boot)?
Thanks!

A few other ways to create a bootable USB drive for Windows 7 installation can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bootable-Windows-7-or-Vista-USB-Drive. This would depend on if you have the installation DVD or a Windows 7 installation ISO available (and another computer with a working DVD drive if you have the installation disc). Microsoft released a Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to do what you are wanting to do, especially since netbooks do not come with any optical drives, and many ultra-books do not, as well.
