Hi I just purchased a Lenovo Y500 gaming laptop last night (6/25/13). It comes with Windows 8. I want to downgrade to Windows 7. I already have a retail copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on me. There's also Windows 7 drivers on the official Lenovo site.

I do not know how to downgrade to Windows 7, I also want to backup Windows 8 in case any problems occurs when installing/using Windows 7, so I can easily rollback to Windows 8 if I have too. Another problem I have is Nvidia GeForce GT750M is said to not work with Windows 7 for some reason. I am not sure of this since it is June 2013....it should be supported by now.
Here is my Laptop specs:
OS: Windows 8 (x64)
CPU: Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 3630QM - 2.40GHz Quad-Core 6MB Cache
Display: 1920x1080 15.6" LED
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT750M GDDR5 2GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: 1TB 5400rpm
Optical Drive: DVD Recordable (Dual Layer)
Network Card: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230
Bluetooth: Bluetooth Version 4.0
Pointing Device: Industry Standard Multi-Touch 2 button touchpad
Battery: 6 Cell Lithium-Ion
Also, on one last thing, I have not gotten this laptop yet, I just want to be prepared of whats ahead. I am expected to get this laptop on Friday the 28th.
