You've placed yourself in a "no win situation".

Which means what exactly?  If you want assistance, then ask for it. 
Don't just complain that anonymous people on a different forum didn't help.

Can't say that i'm the least bit surprised since you're trying to 
install an OS that is over 2 years old on a computer that is brand new.

Excuse you.  When did anyone say that they didn't want to assist?  You 
seem to have quite a chip on your shoulder for someone requesting help.
