debian-installer error doesn't support Windows 6.2.9200SP0

[angela_p]

I am trying to install debian from a DVD image from Windows 8 Pro. (Previously I installed from Windows 7 and this DVD worked but the machine bricked because of a BIOS bug. When my machine returned from being fixed it has come back with Win 8 Pro on it, so I've decided to try to install from here first rather than fiddling to reinstall Win7 first then Linux). In the BIOS I have disabled OS Optimised Defaults which disables Secure Boot and sets UEFI/Legacy Boot to both, Priority Legacy to First etc.

When I run the Debian installer I get the error message: Debian-installer loader - this program doesn't support Windows 6.2.9200SP0 yet. And the install doesn't start.

I'm on a Lenovo T540p Thinkpad running Win 8 PRO 6.2.9200. The DVD image is debian-7.4.0_amd64-netinst.iso which installs the minimum from DVD and the rest over the internet. I plan to wipe windows so no dual boot.

Boot from the disc rather than starting it from within windows.

It works, thank you so much!

btw is there any difference installing from Win 8 as opposed to Win 7 (apart from disabling Secure Boot etc which I've already done)?

how to boot the installer from disc on windows 10?

Read the manual of Windows 10 which should have been supplied by the manufacturer.

For example, for a kind of Asus PC, https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013017/
