I have a dell ultrabook with windows 8, I don' like. I want to put windows 7 on it, can I do the upgrade or the full version?

I am not very clever about computers. I'm 70. My daughter thought the full version was the way to go. I got Windows7 Home Premium and she installed it without any problems. This computer came with Vista back in 2007. Vista was fine but it gave up the ghost last fall. My husband got Windows8 (all they are selling at local computer stores) and installed it. Not easy to install and horrible to use. Three months was all I could take. Good luck.

I love dell products and love windows 7. I am concerned when the tome cones that I will have to upgrade and have to get windows 8.1! Why they had to make life so difficult is beyond me. Good Luck, just make sure whatever you purchase it is has windows 7!

Thank you sire for your inquiry. If you read the descriptions carefully we stated that if you want windows 8, windows 7 or windows XP, let us know which version of the windows you prefer and we will send it for you. Some has windows 7 others have windows 8. After purchase, send us an email and indicate what's your preference. Thanks

As long as you have a clean Win 7 copy, sure. Can you downgrade win 8 that's on it to win 7? No. They push out new systems with the new operating system to further that gen of software

Well, mine came with Windows 7 installed and a disk with Windows 8, if you want to "upgrade" which I did not because older software will not work.

Actually is i dont know or try to do that, but windows 8 is just like windows 7 with different "start menu" design . And most of apps are now copatible with w8Also it can be install win 7 because the system requirment is enough for that.

Yes, you can do it and it will work. All drivers and software are available in the Samsung Support Web page. But you have to buy a Windows 7 license and you have to start from the very beginning, that is, creating a new partition and formatting it. I call Samsung Customer Care and they told me this should work but they will not support it. Considering time and money required to make it happen, I quit, hoping that Windows 8 would, eventually, improve. But again, it should work fine. Series 9 Ultrabooks are among the very very best. Good Luck

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

Not sure. My computer came with virus and pirated windows. I ended up sending it to a guy to repair. He currently is putting Windows 8 on it. Then hopefully I'll finally get to use it. It came with issues straight out of the box. Mine was a refurbished computer. I learned my lesson. lol. I'll know more when I get it back from the shop. For now, I purchased another computer to use while this Dell is in the shop getting repaired.

All your answers can be found in the specs on this model I believe. I wanted the Windows 7 because of the ease in using this platform. However, if you look deeper into different venders offering this product you might find one with the Windows 8. As for an upgrade to that I believe you could. Contact microsoft for that answer.

This laptop runs Windows 7. I just unpacked mine and booted it up. If you are trying to avoid dealing with Windows 8 feel confident purchasing this Dell.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case....If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

When I bought this laptop it was my intention to install Windows 7, but after using Windows 8 extensively I felt the change was unneeded. However, if you are more comfortable with version 7, it will work great this computer.

Windows 7 home to windows ulimate is NOT what you need - see microsoft.com for reviewing which upgrade product you need - there are several. This windows 7 home to ultimate is for a upgrading lower functioning version of windows 7 to a higher version of windows 7. If you have windows vista ultimate, you do not have windows 7 - not windows 7 home, and not windows 7 ultimate. As I understand it, you need to know first if your windows vista ultimate is 32 bit or 64 bit. (microsoft.com tells you how to find out which you have - ask this question to bing.com to find out) Then you buy the windows 7 ultimate upgrade for either the 32 bit or 64 bit - whichever matches the one you started with on Vista. Doesn't matter that you have a Dell computer. I know that Dell's windows disk doesn't work on any other computer - it's not designed to. I am not sure whether a windows vista ultimate upgrade to windows 7 ultimate disk will work on a second computer, but it will work on your dell.

You would have to order direct from Dell to get Windows 7 OS when purchasing computer. Otherwise you get what is already installed.
