    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    Give me a break! Don't you have anything else to do than waste my time with your rants? I was writing assembler most likely when you were in diapers. Ever manage a PDP-11/23 running the OSX 11M operating system? Ever manage a VAX 1200 running DCL or IBM 2300 running TOPS-20? So far you have...

    how to downgrade from windows 8

    Mak or M or whatever you like to call yourself, I must admit that of all the replies I have received yours are the least helpful. What makes you think you know me well enough to make such assumptions? Truly, you know me not and as I very kindly replied to your verysame rant on the other...

    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    Thank you Nevrag35 and I do apologize for bringing this up -- before -- reading the online user guide. Please, I do not want to waste anyone's time! Can we put this topic on 'hold' until I get back after doing my part? Also, the [Thanks] button; is it a 1 press deal or can I do multiple thanks...

    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    Joe C, I've used 7 extensively without any "SW Royalty for Windows 8" and it's been posted on several software sites that sell backup software that 8 will be untenable so if this is on 7 perhaps it's there as a beta and not implemented. In any event I'm not about to take any chances! Enjoy your...

    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    INHO should have beeen IMHO but I just woke up and beginning coffee. I received more helpful responses already than I expected and I thank those that did so far and will do the click on the thanks button when I'm done. One reviewer on the link page I sent mentioned a locked down BIOS. Will that...

    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    Win 8 has one MAJOR flaw, INHO, that being the way it's programmed to handle commercial DVDs.

    What is the PROCEDURE to safely replace Win 8 with Win 7?

    How does one go about removing Windows 8 64bit and installing Windows 7 64bit from an OEM cd with the key on a newly purchased machine loaded with Win 8? The operative words are 'procedure' and 'safely' since I've never played with hardware/software in this way before. I just bought a Lenovo...

    how to downgrade from windows 8

    I hope this is still a live discussion because I just bought a Lenovo laptop because in user reviews one user stated, "...... I hate Win8, so as soon as I got it, I changed it to Win7- no issues at all. I really like the laptop. No need to hesitate any longer...." So my new laptop just arrived...

    Suggestions on what to buy? Best desktop opinions?

    Caveat Emptor Newegg! Having been sold repackaged goods (the last of which I confirmed with D-Link as already having been registered) on my last three purchases and returning all, I no longer use them. On another note, I've got a similiar question to the original but with a different parameter...
