Will it be comparable to windows 7

Yes. My reason for this drive is more the speed. 7200 is much faster than the older 5200.

Yes, I was using Windows 7 on the desktop computer that needed a new hard drive. This one works just fine.

I think it should not be a problem to downgrade your OS. Maybe you can try Windows 7 too, should be similar to Vista.

The os is your choice; I have Win7 upgradable later if I want. The screen seems matte to me, but I'm not sure....

When I bought this laptop it was my intention to install Windows 7, but after using Windows 8 extensively I felt the change was unneeded. However, if you are more comfortable with version 7, it will work great this computer.

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

I have a computer running windows seven. It worked well for me for a few months, then it stopped. Not very happy with it.

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.

Sadly not. I'm sorry. But downgrading to Windows 7 should boost your speed considerably.

It's Windows 8, not Windows 8 Professional. So it can't be downgraded to Windows 7, if that's what you're looking for.

I think so, but i am not all that confindent. It works perfect with windows 7. I couldnt be more happy with the way it performs!

I can't say for sure, but it's compatible with windows 7 so I would not expect a problem.

Yes, but why would you want to? I'd stick w/Windows 7 and wait for 10 (or whatever they are calling it) to come out.

Right now I have windows 7 so I dont know. you can go to the website and ask the source. He answered my emails and even updated my software when improvements were made.

Yes, it will work fine. However, Windows 7 really is not best for touch based operations. This plugs into a USB port, which is basically the touch interface.
