Have you tried "classic shell" yet. Makes it operate like win 7, but faster. Also boots into desktop vs metro crap. I have not seen thAt metro screen in the 5 months i've had classic shell. But if you still need to go to win 7 you will need a key ($100) and a install disk or usb.

You mean Dell Inspiron 580 ? I guess your original graphics is still running the computer? Can you see new video setup screen on your monitor? If so are you sure that the card is seated in the slot and that you performed all the steps to disable the on board graphic card. I have this card on a 660s slim line case.

I am hoping someone will answer this question as "Windows 8" is the worst OS I have encounter and will not purchase another laptop without the option to revert to 7.

I think Asus had problems with the ac66 & Different Motherboards, I called Asus Support & they checked which motherboard was on my Pc, and told me to Purchase the Ac68. Check support.asus.com or Call @ 1-812-282-2787 or 1-888-678-3688, I get these numbers Mixed Up, but it`s 1 of them, Pretty good Improvement with the Ac68

No Clue, I use 7 on my puters... As a caveat, i use it on a system that has win 7 preinstalled, never saw any reason to upgrade to 8, so don't know

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-660s_Owner's%20Manual_en-us.pdf From all I see in your manual for replacing video card it just calls out for a PCI-Express x16 card or PCI-Express xl card.. this is a low profile card so I don't see it being a problem. You can ask Dell directly in a chat.. But I don't think you will have a problem with it fitting in your case. Amazing video. I would buy another one.

Sorry, but no. The Dell Inspiron 660 does not have any PCI open slots, or any PCI slots at all, for you to install this card. That was one of Dells budget desktops and they did not come with much of anything for anyone to do any upgrading them.

Sorry. I cannot be of much help here, as AMAZON's data column listing says WINDOWS 8-The DELL specs further down the page say 7. Wish it was a WINDOWS 7 CPU or that AMAZON would clear up the ambiguity here. I'd get it if it was WINDOWS 7, for sure.

I have not tried to down grade this from Windows 8 to Windows 7 yet. I did a lot of searching of online reviews of this computer, before I bought it. Somewhere I saw someone complained when they down graded it from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and they had a problem with finding drivers for some of the computer components, but I cannot find that review (This may have been on another HP Desktop, but not sure). Best Buy has a lot more reviews on this exact computer, and here is the posted link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+ENVY+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1.5TB+Hard+Drive/7479285.p?id=1218847153040&skuId=7479285&strId=468&strClr=true "I was reading some of the review on the best buy website and a couple of them did put Windows 7 on their machines. One was a 3 star review and the second one was a 4 star review. You might want to try and ask the person who posted that review the same question and see if they are happy with the down grade. Also I was shown where to download the Start Button for Windows 8, and this has made my life a lot easier using this computer. Here is the link for the start button for Classic Windows 8. http://www.classicstart8.com/. I'm too chicken to try and down grade the operating system, because this is my only working desktop right now. I did add in a used blue-ray player from my last dead HP Desktop, and I only had to upgrade the Cyberlink PowerDVD software to 13, and the blue-ray works just fine. I hope this helps you out with your question.

What happened to the free Windows 7 upgrade this was sold with a few days ago?Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 16.0-Inch Laptop - Black/Grey

I bought this model specifically for it coming with Win 7. I'd heard enough bad things about Win 8. You have to pay for an upgrade. or find a similar Dell with Win 8 installed.

The best thing to do once you receive the computer is to call dell customer service by telephone and have them guide you though the upgrade to 8.1. You can configure 8.1 to boast directly to your desk top. It's a great upgrade from windows 8 which sucks.

I have no idea. I got this one because it had Windows 7 and I did not want 8!

I don't know. You can get their manufacturer's pitch here. Dell Inspiron i3647-1233BLK Desktop (Windows 7) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Since I had not even opened the box, I cant tell you what was in the box. My review of this was for a student in my household who decided to drop her computer class. Hope this helps.

The specks are correct - I have been pleased with this brand using it lately in several desktop upgrades. Shut it down, pull the battery and then swap out the memory - Dell with then give you instructions on F1 key for accepting the upgrade or change in the installed memory. Not meaning to sound like a know it all but I would rather keep you safe.
