    Can I Downgrade a new Dell laptop with Windows 10 to Windows 7?


    Hi I'm thinking about getting a new Dell XPS laptop. It comes installed with Windows 10. I would rather use Windows 7. My question can I format the the new Dell laptop and install a new copy of Windows 7. Or are there too many driver specific components on a new XPS that need Windows 10 to function properly. Thanks

    :)

    Downgrade

    Hi

    I have a Dell laptop running on windows 8, I was told I can update it free to 8.1 and then to 10. Can I downgrade it back to windows 8 if some of the applications will not work on the new windows 10. If I can downgrade, please explain how?

    Thank you.

    Pavan.

    Can I Downgrade a new Dell laptop with Windows 10 to Windows 7?

    Why would you want to install a new copy of Win10 to a laptop already containing Win10? I'm guessing this was a typo on your part and you meant a new copy of Win7, right?

    It's very likely that will NOT work. Why? Because there are likely to be no Win7 drivers for a brand new laptop. Laptops are known to contain specialized hardware which require specialize drivers. IF the Dell site doesn't list Win7 drivers for your laptop, I would advise against trying to downgrade it.

    Hey jj
    I do like ten. This is what you want to do. Go to dell business laptops online. By one with windows 7 on it then upgrade to ten and get your free activation. Then you can go back to Win 7 for as long as MS supports it. You have both doing it that way*Biggrin
