Has anyone tried to put Windows 7 on it?

I think you can still use functions and user interface of Windows 7 on a Windows 8.

Hallo Tom. I installed win7 on this laptop and it works great. I had some problems with the BIOS settings. If you can not do, send me message and I will check what was. You can find oll drivers for win7 on Asus official site.

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

Sorry, but I can't help you on this one. Fortunately, I have not had a bit of trouble with this computer. I love it. And it is Windows 7, which is what I wanted.

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.

have you tried simply installing windows on it directly? That worked for me with XP on an older mac mini

Yes you can , although it will take up more space on your hardrive, it is not necessary to install windows 7 as vista will work well, but if you desire windows seven there would be no problem.

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.

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.

I had it working with Windows 7, then it would not work. Had a lot of conflicts so I am not using it now.

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 on the one I ordered. Be sure to read the description carefully and you can contact the Seller to really pin this down. Good luck!

You can self-install Windows 7, but note if you are doing so that this is a UEFI system, and needs UEFI install media. As a note, you will need a 64-bit version of Windows 7, 32 bit versions are not capable of UEFI installs.

Yes you can load windows 7 on it no problem. Drivers are available from dell.com

I was able to install Windows 7 without issues on this board. I agree with casselkid, I doubt is the board. I'm more inclined to think is a bad RAM. Try installing with only one memory stick, if fails, try another.

That I do not know...I loaded Windows 7 on it and have never used Windows 8

I have not tried it with Window 7 (or any Windows pc). I would be surprised if did not work with Win7, since it would limit the market quite a bit.
