Hi

 

   I just bought the HP Pavilion p7-1443 with Windows 8.  I was wondering if it is possible to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on this computer.  Has anyone tried this?

 

Thanks,

 

Sanj

Hi:

 

It should be doable.

 

You can use the drivers from this model which has the same motherboard as the one you have.

Thanks.   I was pretty sure that would be the case as well.  Hopefully all the software drivers will be fine for Win 7.

Hi:

 

Here is an updated link to a model that has W7 64 bit drivers that would work on the p7-1443.
