Probablemente se pueda instalar, habría que ver si hay controladores para Windows 7. Lo que si se puede es instalarle características para obtener el windows 8 pro.

Yes, just make sure you have the proper drivers, and backups if anything goes wrong.

No olvides realizar los discos de reinstalación en caso de que se presente algun error. La opción que debes a usar es el RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR, son como 3 DVD. Suerte!

You could by a license for Windows 7, reformat the primary drive, and then install the OS. Windows 8 is just another Vista in my opinion.

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.

We can install Win7 32 bit if desired. Email us after your purchase as 64 bit is normally installed..Thanks

In order to install Windows 7, the HD would need to be reformatted. Then you would need to purchase a copy of Windows 7. Installing an SSD drive and RAM is relatively simple.

I have not tried installing windows 7. It has a backup copy of windows on a different partition of the hard drive(no back up CDs). If you did a clean install I don't foresee any issues.

See: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Hardware&s;=WDBAAR6400ABK-NESNShort answer: Apparently yes

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.

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.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

Yes you should be able to install windows 7 64 bit. They have drivers too which confirms it 100% http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3979121&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en

You can do it but unless you are fairly savvy at computer stuff best to go to a local computer shop. You will have to buy Win 7 and have them install it. Also, it may compromise any extended warranty you may have purchased.

Can't upgrade on any laptop, only desktop. And you don't need disc install....windows 7 and newer will take care of itself. Windows xp and vista will need disc install

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).

I guess you can, but make sure to visit the Toshiba website before doing that and check if the win7 drivers are available for that laptop. Also remember this laptop does not have a CD drive, so you will have to either get an external CD/DVD drive to install Win7 or have a way to install it from a USB memory stick.
