Windows 7 vs 8

<< < (5/7) > >>

Oscar:
Hi Shane thank you

1. Is there any preference of laptop brand or even model?

2. Is the I7 a Quad core like they say or is it just another name equivalent?

Thanks again

Shane:
Brand doesnt matter as they all come with just a 1 year warranty. And for the processor you will need to use google and find out what they have an offer.

Some I7's are dual core others are 4 core.

Hi Shane thank you

1. You mentioned newegg.com for the Windows 7 disc, i live in New Zealand would it be cheaper or was it just the price?

2. Also you said that i could only load Windows 7 on one computer at a time, so this means i can load it on another computer once the new one breaks?

3. Can i revert Windows 8 back to 7 on all laptops?

Thanks again

Yes you can as long as your able to find drivers for Windows 7 for the laptop. To force people to 8 MS has had a lot of the mfg's not provide Windows 7 drivers and only offer Windows 8 drivers. BUT it is still the same hardware as their Windows 7 ones, so it is possible to find drivers for them :wink:

Hi Shane thank you

1. How long do you think Windows 7 and its drivers will be supported?

2. Do i buy a Windows 7 64 bit Professional or Home Edition?

3. Is it easy to revert Windows 8 back to 7?

4. You say that buying OEM, is this only because of cheaper price?

5. I have been told there is no Dial up connections on new computers is there a adapter that can be used?
I will be going over to broad band eventually.

6. I use a important program that was developed on Windows 7 and i have been in contact with the Developer and he said it he prefers Windows 7, should i stick with Windows 7 due to this?

Thanks again
