I bought this one last year. I'm still not into windows 8. How does this one run Windows 7?

It should run great with windows 7, and most likely faster than it would with windows 8.

I would like to know the answer to that myself. Do not like windows 8 at all.

Windows 7 should be fine running older stuff. My complaint was how slow the machine is. VERY SLOW unusable slow gotta return it slow.

This runs on my Windows 8 machine just fine. Have had it running all year with no problems.

I don't have a clue since I don't use Windows 8. With my new computer I paid a premium to get it with Windows 7.

Yes it works great. I love Windows 7. I'm not changing to Windows 9 until this baby stops working until 10 years from now.

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

Yes it will run using Windows 7, but I'm using Windows 8.1 and it runs great!! Would recommend Win 8.1.

Windows 8 works very well for me. I have 2 laptops both run 8 I have not had a problem with them or software issues. 8 does take some getting use to and I think that is the biggest thing- people don't like change. Mine do not have touch screen and work fine. I do recommended a wireless mouse for ease of navigation.

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

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.

Well. I'm using it with windows 7 and works just fine. At this moment I can't confirm If this will run with windows 8. Good luck.

Oh, you silly thing. There's a reason Windows 7 is the number 1 seller. Do a little bit of research on the issues with 8.

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!
