Can I install Windows 7 on this, and have it function correctly?

Haven't tried but I have installed some Classic Shell functions on it and they work just fine. I have also had friends that have Windows 7, installed, and have had no issues. However, its a shot in the dark. If the manufacturer doesn't have the correct driver on the computer, it will cause issues. I would recommend trying windows 8. It's a little weird getting used to but the Registry updates are great and the O/S (especially the boot loader) are much faster and more responsive. It's a great system, just takes a little bit of time getting used to.

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.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating systemin the event the drive fails.

I have a computer running windows seven. It worked well for me for a few months, then it stopped. Not very happy with it.

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

The machine comes preloaded with Windows 7 Professional 64bit already. You're good to go. The supplied recovery media is for Windows 8, however. Re-installing Windows 7 will be difficult. I'd recommend preforming a complete system backup to an external harddrive as soon as you get the machine.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

It's not whether or not it's Windows compatible, but you should be asking if it's compatible with your motherboard and other components.

You can self-install Windows 7, but note if you are doing so that this is a UEFI system, and needs UEFI install media. As a note, you will need a 64-bit version of Windows 7, 32 bit versions are not capable of UEFI installs.

I was able to install Windows 7 without issues on this board. I agree with casselkid, I doubt is the board. I'm more inclined to think is a bad RAM. Try installing with only one memory stick, if fails, try another.

Windows 7 on the one I ordered. Be sure to read the description carefully and you can contact the Seller to really pin this down. Good luck!
