After hours of searching, I still can't seem to get this to work.
So I installed the windows 8 consumer preview, now I want to go back to windows 7, I backed the windows.old folder and I'm trying to use the recovery partition on my HP laptop to reinstall windows 7. Im pressing f11 on startup but nothings happening. Any suggestions?

Go to BIOS setup and manually change the boot devices order. (You must have the Windows CD installation in the CD-ROM).

@user Corvallis5: Start pressing f11 really fast. Maybe you just missed the time when you should've pressed it. Also, maybe your PC needs f12 or Del to be pressed.

It's either F1, F11 or F12.

And you don't have to tap it really fast for it to recognize the input, just restart the PC and press and hold the button.

If you haven't noticed this is the Off-Topic section. I don't believe that you thought much before posting.

@user Majatek: Never worked for me, had to bash the button like a neurotic raccoon.

No, I don't know you, and I don't give a shit.
I really couldn't give less of a flying fuck about some retarded preteen like you.
And the reason why I don't give a fuck is because you don't use your brain.
And even if you did, it'd have less computational power than a common worm.

Put simply, you are still not thinking with your brain. Perhaps with your behind, but certainly not what an intelligent mammal such as myself uses to process thoughts and discuss intelligibly.

True, it was actually rather immature of me to post what I did, but I felt rather irritable at that moment, I was up since 1am, and I had no coffee.

Man do you have any idea how life without coffee is like for me?

It's like denying the God, or Devil of all their powers that they have over their respectable realms. Maddeningly annoying.

I do understand though, it's night here, I haven't slept for a day already and I got to go in the early morning, I still got lots of work unfinished and today (and tomorrow and day after tomorrow) coffee is my best friend.

Maybe he meant to tell the OP that he won't get a lot of help asking about OS problem in a gaming forum.But his english is too bad to explain that?
