They’ve figured out that people will pay a small premium for Windows 7.
I know I would.
@Dan: With classic shell there is no need for win7
Also supposedly win 8.1 fixes most issues but I have not installed it so I cannot say.
what’s the difference between Windows 7 “Home” vs. “Premium” ?
@Accountant: Here you go: http://bit.ly/13KlXYL
Does a .edu email add give you with this a $200 gift card ?
@EZ:
Thanks EZ
@accountant, @Accountant: windows 7 home premium is the name. the next step up would be professional and would be for use in a business environment.
Does this come with a screen?
@Dan: This link makes it even cheaper down to $650

@Simple:
No, but you can get a good screen for $100-$125 elsewhere.
@Jacky:
That’s the same deal but with Windows 8.
If you add Windows 7 it makes it the same computer and the same price as in the link in this post.
The coupon works for any Inspiron or XPS over $600. I configured an Inspiron 660 for a total of $580 (obviously the specs aren’t as good)
Hi,
How about Windows 7 PRO laptops? Thanks!
@Dan: Sorry I did not see the (bolded!) Windows 7 bullet point! I stand corrected!
I purchased a windows 8 laptop this summer and really hate it! Is it possible to download anything or change it to Windows 7?
@Ricky: You can buy Windows 7. FYI i just bought my first Windows 8 laptop too and I hate it too like everyone else. But I have to say that having touchscreen makes the Windows 8 experience way easier.
@Ricky:
If you install a simple tiny plugin you will start to not hate it as much:

If I have windows 7 disk. can i buy the windows 8 comp and install windows 7?
thanks
I second anon, if one has a Windows 7 DVD (Full, OEM, or Dell branded Win 7 Reinstall DVD), can Windows 7 be installed with little effort?
I’ve already installed a 128GB M4 SSD, using the Free version of Macrium Reflect for cloning. All partitions except the recovery one fit.
Now boots at least 2x faster, even with “Fast Boot” & hibernation disabled. Apps load even faster.
