Hey buddy! if you installed windows 7 on a device that was designed for a later operating system, you may be met with some inaccessible things. and alot of drivers will be missing. Like: unable to connect to networks USB ports not working Special features designed for the laptop or pc like touch screen not working. Sound and Sound Drivers ETC! You might ask how to resolve this? depending on how many drivers and things that don't work any more, you may be in luck. If the USB ports work, try the following: From another device, install drivers onto it. Once all drivers successfully installed, attempt to establish a network connection, capable of browsing the internet. go to https://legacyupdate.net and install the software, and let it do it's magic. After the restart, you should perform a windows update, and to install every update, except for the language packs if you don't want it to take land (if you want a specific language installed then do so) Get an antivirus. If you're willing to pay for one or already have one, then install it. If you need recommendations, you could get the free version of malware bytes, and avast. If your USB ports do NOT work, follow what comes down: Try to put the drivers on something else that will most likely work like: A DVD or CD disc, and insert it into the drive If you don't have that, try to put that into an SD card. If you have an Ethernet Port, then plug it in, and direct it to your wifi router and see if you get your network connection to work. If one of the above works, follow the other steps listed in the section where if your USB ports do work. Hope everything goes well for you! Cheers! More on reddit.com
