I'm considering buying this laptop but want to make sure its not a headache installing win 7 and finding drivers. Is it possible with this specific unit? Thanks in advance

You can install windows 7 but your lappy coming with 8.1 64bits whats the problem with windows 8, it is better in overall performance than 7

You're out of luck, HP have not released any drivers for the HP 15-f018dx other than for Windows 8.1 64-bit
I just checked: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7137590/model/7582579/drivers

If you install Windows 7, Windows itself will run but there'll be a slew of missing drivers like those for WiFi, Audio, Webcam etc.

Ok I figured. Newegg has almost the same laptop with win 7 but for 200 more. Guess theyre more valuable. LOL

And the reason I don't want to keep 8 is I'm used to 7 and have it on my main rig.
