The thing is that when I bought this laptop, it was pre installed with windows 8. I asked if there was a way to downgrade it to windows 7, he said No, but he also said "You might if you try"
Oh good lord, store-bought laptop.
Here's a tip. Format the hard drive. That will wipe it COMPLETELY clean, meaning you can install Win 95 if you want. If you have any data on it, backup it on DVDs or an external hard drive, and wipe the entire hard drive clean (or at least the partition on which the OS is). After that's done, just grab a Windows 7 disk and install the OS, should work. I usually knock my system over and re-install at least once a year.
