Hi asderafeda and welcome to the Sony Users Community.

What exactly are you trying to do?

To install an older version of Windows requires the BIOS to be changed to Legacy Mode.

What happens if you press the ASSIST key when the Vaio is completely turned off?  Does Vaio Care Rescue mode open?  If it does, you may be able to carry out a Recovery back to factory condition by following the instructions for a Full Recovery.
