Is it possible to install Windows 7 over 8?

Dear visitors,

Happy February! While you all are reading this Post, I'll be at the gym with my friend. Now you might be wondering what that has to do with this week's topic, which is whether you can install Windows 7 over Windows 8.

Well, like a marriage brings change to your life, so does working with a new operating system. Most people dread change; stepping outside of our comfort zone is not something we look forward to usually. And with Windows 8 being very different than what we are mostly accustomed to, it is a huge change. This week's question from Gary probably sounds familiar to many folks, who may have the same thoughts: You went out and bought a new PC with Windows 8 preloaded on it and came to quickly realize that it's so different and you just simply don't want to put up with it. And I don't blame anyone bit for being frustrated and wanting to revert to Windows 7. But before you do that, there are a lot of people who suggest giving Windows 8 a chance; many of our friends and professionals and IT GEEKS felt the same way as you when they first started with Windows 8, but then eventually grew to like it. 

Now if you've given Windows 8 a chance and it still falls short of what you'd like it to be, before you attempt to downgrade to 7, many people recommended trying out a few programs that you can install on Windows 8 that will allow you to make Windows 8 look and feel like a more familiar Windows layout. And if that doesn't work out, there are plenty of posts on internet that will help you install Windows 7. Give them all a thorough read, as I'm sure you'll find a solution that will satisfy your needs. Good luck!

Now if any of you have any additional advice to offer other people or have experienced this yourself and have successfully downgraded to 7 from 8, swing on by and discuss this topic with us. Thanks for your participation. Have a great weekend!
