    I was looking for a Windows 7 program to replace the windows 8 that came on a computer I purchased. Thank goodness I have a friend with more computer knowledge than me. I would recommend only having some who knows what they are doing when installing.

    Windows 7 is the way to go if you upgrade. Have a windows 8 computer and I don't like the hoops you have to jump thru to use it.

    I went through the whole upgrade process to Windows 7. Thought I had succeeded. But it changed my IDE drives to SATA drives which made my IDE DVD and CD drive not work. I had a tuner that was the original with my SONY VAIO, it wouldn't work any more either. I ended up reinstalling my Windows XP SP3 and all my old programs. I guess I didn't have the expertise to get it done right.

    I use Windows 7 on an extra, older laptop (that is not capable of utilizing later versions) at work with a hot spot to listen to my music online, look at some websites and check my personal email - Windows 7 is just right for what i need.

    Do not buy OEM version if you are a common user; get the regular Home Premium version.

    I didn't know my older computer only had about 528 MB of ram which this OS couldn't run on. So I spent money on something I couldn't use.
