[QUOTE="Vince53, post: 64537630, member: 251704"] Folks, I'm a bit frustrated over this. On a tech forum, we are dealing with people who bought a laptop, didn't like Windows 8, and installed Windows 7. Some of them have deleted the re-install partition, and all of them have erased the drivers that are designed specifically for their rig plus Windows 8. One guy bought an $850 laptop, deleted 8, reformatted (thus destroying his re-install partition) and when it didn't work, put in a new hard drive that doesn't work. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON A LAPTOP! A new operating system contains generic drivers that have difficulty with the finicky architecture of a laptop. Sometimes you can improve the situation by installing new drivers (that are either designed for your machine of your operating system, but not both) and sometimes you can't even start up the laptop again.
