It does not come with a disk, but it does have pretty good driver maintenance/update software. My hard drives are partitioned into 4 1/2TB drives. I don't know of any reason you couldn't install both operating systems, but I have not had occasion to do so.

I'm not sure about dual booting because I didn't try, but they will give the utility/driver disc. However on the disc, they said it's for window 8 64-bit only. So I think you cannot use this disc on windows 7 64 bit. Actually before I bought this laptop, I planned to downgrade to windows 7 64 bit, but after I use this laptop, I think windows 8 is pretty convenience. So why don't you use it window 8 without downgrading?? Hope my answer is helpful to you.

Yes it comes with a Driver disc. You will find up to date drivers on this page http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1376 in a zip file. There is also instructions on how to install in Windows 8 on that page also. Just click on the floppy icon to the right side of the title Windows 8.

Yes - Windows 7 and 8, 32bit and 64bit. Just be sure to select the correct driver for you OS.

Mine had windows 7 installed but it comes with the Disc to install Windows 8.1. You can install either system, but can't install them as a dual boot system. Either one or the other.

Yes, I have been running it on W7 64bit since it came out.Just clean out the old drivers, go to their site and download new drivers.

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.

I suggest you run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor from Microsoft. Pay close attention to the 64 bit options. Do not delete the fat32 partion. Windows antime upgrade works just fine. I would install 1GB of RAM first. A clean install will make some functions disappear. Asus does not post all working files on the download site.

As far as I can tell, it does NOT come with a signed driver -- which means there is no simple way to make it work with windows 7 64 bit. So no, the best answer is that as shipped, it does not support Windows 7 64 bit.

Yes, you can install it on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Download the latest drivers from the Creative website.

Chris, Did you upgrade your 32bit Vista (1410 with Core2 Solo) to 64bit Windows 7? I am thinking of doing the same thing (if I can get 64bit OS from Acer), so did you do a clean install? Thanks for any feedback.

You will need to download and install the Windows 7 BIOS and drivers @http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OE.html#download under the Windows 7 64 tabs. Note there are only drivers for 64 bit Windows 7. So make sure you did not get a 32-bit Windows 7 OS DVD.

It workes with windows 7 32bit but when I updated the driver it crashed my system so I had to roll back the system and not update it. If it works with window 7 it should work with windows 8 I am not 100%sure but it worked with windows 7 for sure!
