I haven't tried that method but i think it will work but you can have less features by that method.. Have anyone tried windows 8.1 in these models instead of windows 10..
I heard from some where that if we install a previous version of windows instead of compatible version, everything goes on perfectly.. so who thinks he is a volunteer to install windows 8.1 instead of windows 10.. i can not install 8.1 now because of having expensive soft wares installed in my laptop...
