Has anyone installed windows 7 on this laptop? If so where did you get the drivers?

Nope. But I like the windows 8 since it is much more convenient for me to review pages. By the way, the machine I bought a month ago is running really good. I am an architect, and I can run five software at the same time without any problem. Strongly recommended.

Yes, my IT Department tried however there were not drivers available for the computer, primarily the video card, to be fully functional.

Yes, I did install windows 7 on this computer, after a complete wipe of the HDD. Windows 8 was for some reason very unstable (at least one BSOD a day). All the drivers you can get from the Acer web site. Despite the fact that they are listed as windows 8 drivers, all the installation files worked fine in windows 7. Only driver that is not listed on Acer website is USB 3.0 driver, because windows 8 comes with one by default. If you do a search on web by Hardware ID, you should be able to find the correct one with no problems. I had used the windows 7 for two weeks now and it is completely stable - no BSODs at all.

No, it did not. When KI went to retrieve a driver, Windows 7 said it could not find one.The documents that came with the device, which I have already packaged for Return to Amazon, did not list Windows 7 as a compatible operating system.

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.

I couldn't get it to work on Windows 7, or find a driver that would get it to work on that OS. I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if there is an available driver for Windows 8.

Check Lenovo's support site for this model to see if they carry the Windows 7 drivers. If they don't, try googling "Lenovo H520s Windows 7 drivers" and see if anyone has advice/links to specific drivers.

I didn't need driver's for this item myself as I am using a Linux machine with this item and it worked right out of the box. As far as Windows goes I guess you could check windows update for a driver update for your PCMCIA slot, or the manufacture of your laptop. Other than those two places I am unsure where you might get the driver. Another suggestion would be if you have another computer around you can download the driver from the disc to a thumb drive and load the driver to your laptop that way. I personally have had to do that in the past.

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

Hello buddy ! I've been worked with Windows 7 and he works very good, I recommend it !

Yes, Windows 7 has the driver for it built into Windows. Meaning you will not need to down load a driver and install it. This is completely plug-n-play.

I've had no problems with Windows 8. You have to plug it into the usb port and install the drivers from the disk
