    A matter of curiosity


    I have just bought a new Asus ROG G750JM and getting it to accept 7 drivers without mucking around in the BIOS has made it only just usable - bog standard graphics and no USB ports etc etc
    Now a friend asked me why I didn't use the 8 it came with and my reason is because I don't like it that much unless it is run in 7 style and the HDD that came with it is an older type 5400 rpm spinner - very slow compared to the SSD and 7 I installed after removing that contraption.
    Besides Asus seem to have made this rig for using 8 and I am wondering if it is going to be hard to "downgrade" to 7 is it going to be easier to upgrade to 10 when it arrives without major alterations for example to the BIOS??

    :)

    small point of curiosity

    I understand that I can surf directly to the Ovi store,...and have done so on a few occasions, but I was just curious about why Nokia even bothers to allow inputting of phone numbers when it apparently works so poorly, but maybe it's just working poorly
    for me here in Kuwait. Dunno. I've yet to receive a single text, and mainly did it out of curiosity.

    I'll take a stab at this.. It might be that Asus didn't write Win7 drivers for that PC.
    Sounds silly but given it comes with WIn8.1 it's possible.

    Note: have you tried to use say, Classic Shell or Start8 to get the star menu to act like Win7??

    I've installed all 3 of the W10 TP builds as they came out, and in each case, W10 had all the drivers for my system. I didn't have to do any alterations in the BIOS to get them to run properly.

    For downgrading it may be wise if you follow thios tutorial:

    Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7

    Upgrading to 10 (when the time comes) is probably the easier task.
