This is new install so it wipes any other OS and ALL FILES that you have previously loaded. Be sure to backup your files first and have the media to reinstall the programs or apps that you run.

Yes, I have Windows 7 Professional and it works well, I know it will work with Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate. I have nothing confirmed as afar as Windows 7 Home or Home Premium.I hope that answers your question.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case.... If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

It has been some time since I got mine, but I believe Win 8 will do what Win 7 did; I plugged it in and the OS went searching for drivers and installed them automatically. I paid about $10 for mine. At that price, I thought it worth the gamble.

As long as you have a clean Win 7 copy, sure. Can you downgrade win 8 that's on it to win 7? No. They push out new systems with the new operating system to further that gen of software

This OS can better take advantage of modern hardware than Windows 7. That is about the only advantage to using Win8 vs Win7.

I am using it with Windows 7 home premium and have been for 2 years. As time passes sometimes Sierra orthe developer doesn't renew the Microsoft license, then you have a problem.

You'll need to buy Win 8 Pro (Sounds stupid, I know)then downgrade to Win 7.It's cheaper and easier to download Classic Shell and use that for the start menu like i have.

I have Win 8.1 on it and I happy with that, I don't want to change it for Win 7 (but I think I could)!

Yes. I used Windows 7 on my machine for it's entire working life. However I'm not sure what WIN8 would do. Godd luck!

Yes, but according to the chart you need Windows 7 Professional, not Home Premium, for that.

Nevermind - I've since put Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer and it runs like a champ. No slow-downs, slightly better battery life and quick boot up/shut-down times. I'm happy!

I had no problems with Win 7, did not try Win 8- it started to malfunction and I have not analyzed the problem yet- realized I was not going to use it as much because even with three screens(laptop and two others I can only really have two in content

When I click on System Properties I get "Windows 7 Home Premium" and below it are the words "Service Pack 1"
