Why wont my inspiron take anything other than windows 10?
i have a 2013 dell inspiron, its not strong, but i have a desk full of weak computers and its my strongest. my problem? it runs windows 10, its slow with windows 10, and i cant make it run anything else. it has the option to boot from other partitions in the drive, the optical, and even the USB, but it never boots from it. i tried using a linux partition, but it refused to boot claiming it as a "damaged windows partition", so i tried a the optical, running a standard windows 7 install disk, from when they still made them, it actually ran, but always crashes on the same frame while starting the installer. i know the disk isnt ruined because it has no scratches and it has proven to work without problem on my old mac. so i tried a USB, loaded installers and complete operating systems of linux and windows, but it wont mark the USB as an existing bootable, even if other things will.
