windows 8 back to windows 7 ACER ASPIRE|V5

Hi,

1. First thing to do is check with Acer and see if they supply Windows 7 Drivers for that Model.

If they don't Windows 7 will not install or work correctly.

2. You have no free downgrade rights from Windows 8 to 7; only 8 Pro has that.
3. Microsoft no longer sells Windows 7; try Amazon.com., etc.
