Downgrading from windows 8

[HarryOMalley]

Hi,

I have just bought an MSI GS70 Stealth Pro, which comes with Windows 8. I am already sick of using windows 8, i find it completely counterintuitive after suing windows 7 for so long. Can i use this windows 7 professional (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-Professional-User-Win7/dp/B008OS5NKW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) on this laptop, or will it refuse to accept the key. All i need is the key, as i have the installation dvd already.

Thanks,
Harry

i see no reason it wouldnt work, but for the most part you can set up windows 8 to behave just like windows 7

i use start8 and have never looked back

Are there any utilities to get rid of the metro, and make the ui more curvy? And aero glass too😛

start8 makes it so you never have to look at metro, i havent seen it since i installed windows 8. i do miss aero though.
