What if I install windows 7 after I get this product? Do you think this product will be great then?

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.

Mine came with Windows 7. That is exactly why I bought it. My only complaint is that the sound is not that great.

You should probably not buy this when you're asking that question! This machine needs RAM and HDD installed separatly, and I doubt you are qualified...no disrespect intended ;-)But yes, you can install it after Windows is installed (which does not come included).

Educated guess ... Maybe. It depends on which distribution you plan on using and how new the hardware is (as to whether or not you'll be able to find drivers yet). Bored with windows already?

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.

I did the installation with Windows 7 Professional and had no problems. According to Microsoft it should also load with Windows 8.

I have been thinking about it but after reading everything I can find it doesn't appear to be anything I would tackle myself. The cost of hiring an expert and buying Windows 7 would come close to buying another computer. I am using this Windows 8 machine and hating it every minute. As soon as I can afford it I am trashing it and buying something else. The actual hardware seems good. It is just the operating system that is trash. I would not buy it. I would search for an older computer with Windows 7 on it. I have Windows 7 on my laptop and love it. I hope this helps. Charles

I think windows 7 is preinstalled but you are allowed to upgrade it to windows 8 for free. So when you boot it up the first time you will have win 7

It comes with Window 7 Pro (64 bits) pre-installed and activated along with some other programs. It would be pretty much ready to use right out of the box.

I have already opened the package, can it be returned or no? That really sucks that it can't work for Windows 7, and ridiculous.. is there any way at all that we can get it to work? Thanks.

Yes it works great. I love Windows 7. I'm not changing to Windows 9 until this baby stops working until 10 years from now.

There shouldn't be any issues if you want to roll it back to Win 7, but this particular computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed.

Hello. It will vary. You should probably see about 230GB usable remaining space give or take after the install of Windows 7.

By the nature of your question...I am assuming you are hesitant to do it yourself.??? Best way...is to buy a copy of Windows 7 from Ebay or Amazon...and try following the instructions with the CD. If you really feel nervous, take it to a PC repair shop.... shouldn't cost more than $100.... I have the 2739p and like it. It had Windows 7 preloaded...(I don't like & as well as XP...but...one must move with the times. !! BTW, Windows 7 has retained a relatively high price, even "used..." That shows its popularity over newer Windows products. Good Luck. ! (In either case, "DYI," or a shop... your existing data will be preserved..if you make the right choice; "UP DATE!!"
