Yes however reinstalling operating systems can be a huge complication as in some cases you will need to download particular drivers seperately in order forbit to work appropriately.

Yes it is . You can install windows 7. And use it like a regular computer. And watch youtube movies etc

Sorry I am still running windows 7 on my computers. I don't see why it wouldn't though.

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...

This is a fully functioning laptop, so any game that runs on windows should be able to run on it. Hope that helps.

No you would need a full version of windows 8 to run your program. This version is RT and does not support full programs.

I have not tried, but that is an option I have considered. I definitely think Windows 7 would work better than 8 on this machine because 7 is a "lighter" operating system (doesn't take as much to run it). I think Linux would be even better, I am just not sure if Linux has all the drivers.

Yes it can as windows 8 is built on the same platform as windows 7 which I have it running on just fine. Order it plug it up wait for windows to install drivers and you're ready

Yes, but you really need to know what you're doing as far as drivers go to get everything set up properly. I have mine running Windows 7. It can be done, it just takes a little extra work. Also, you need to disable secure-boot from within the bios before you begin anything at all

I don't see why not. I have Windows 7 and it works fine. 7 and 8 are close enough.

Yes. The OS is Windows 8 with Windows Explorer. It will also run Google Chrome, which I use a lot.

I operate on windows 7 so i can't answer accurately, but i would imagine it would work just fine.

Yes, I have Win7 installed. I did upgrade the memory to I believe 6gb, but you could probably install with just 1gb. It would run slower, though.

Windows 7 should be fine running older stuff. My complaint was how slow the machine is. VERY SLOW unusable slow gotta return it slow.

I use Windows 7, so I can's speak from experience. However, the system requirements published on line DO NOT include Windows 8. I would query Brother before I would buy this product.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.
