Choose operating system to start
-earlier version of Windows
-Windows 7
Just to clarify—I used to have two operating systems installed, Windows 8 and Windows 7, but I uninstalled Windows 8, so now I should only be running Windows 7.
Well, now that you mention uninstalling Windows 8, that's a huge red flag to me! It really makes me wonder... how exactly did you go about removing that Windows installation? Did you actually format the partition where it was living, or did you try some other way to get rid of it?
It sounds like you might not have wiped it out properly—which means the system might still think that Windows 8 admin account is the primary one!
