Yes. I purchased this hard drive as replacement for a computer that already had Windows 7 (the hard drive died). Installed the operating system, drivers, etc. on the new hard drive and the computer is running fine.

This hard drive is authentic, you can install all versions of Windows Operating system, dependent upon the year or born date of that computer. Now when asking about any hard drive, memory module you must give computer make, model and born on date, this allows one to have specifics on the techology inside, this assures correct information for the correct replacemen part. My assestment on repacement parts is, "one don't fit all", got to know the technical make up of you computer, because, each hard drive are different specifications, do your research first.

Yes, but you'll need a computer to go along with it. I'm guessing you're probably a more casual user, so I'd recommend having a technically inclined friend or computer repair specialist help with the install.

Yes , I tested one by installing windows 7. It is louder than it should be, but it works.

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

Yes you can as you have a slot for it. You will need to clone over the existing install or reinstall Windows. There are also USB enclosures and normal SATA adapters.

Most likely ok. When I installed Windows 8,it nearly destoyed the compluter. I hardly use it. I even used the update that came with it. Sound card, printers, internet card is gone, so be careful

It should work, I have installed many Linux distros on this as well as many flavors of windows.

I would think you should be able to install Windows 7 Home Premium, especially if you wipe out Win 8 first. You may have to change it so the computer looks to the CD/DVD drive on boot up.

You would have to fresh install it your self.It does not come with Windows 7. Only Windows 8.

It is possible to run Win7 on it, but you have to adjust the BIOS settings to turn off UEFI. Truthfully, 8.1 is actually pretty good. The learning curve from 7 isn't bad (I just stay on the desktop all the time) and some of the newer features are actually quite useful.

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, if you have Windows 7 and up.Make sure you apply all [windows] updates first.

Easy easy easy yes you can on both. First you need a bootable USB with the operating system on it or a cloning program. Here, check out the clean install video I made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16m25etC3lo

Probably not. I doubt you could even do an installation thereof with confidence due to the relationship between Windows 8 and the bios. If I were you I'd wait until September for Windows 10

You can if u r me and have have all the necessary items to do so but no, not legally unless u want to pay $80 for Windows 7 License. But good news Windows 8 is good u just got to get used to it

Yes, you can install windows through USB on this motherboard. That's how I installed windows 7. Also yes, the bios is a UEFI. It doesn't have any overclocking options, however.

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.
