get rid of W10 and install W7

[RianaL]

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a HP15-F233 with turbo boost.

It comes with Windows 10.

My Questions:

-Can I delete Windows 10 and install windows 7? How?

-Can I, in the future add extra disk space to this model- it comes with 500gb? -and what about RAM? it comes with 4GB

Thank you

I came across your post about the upgrade issue, and wanted to help!

It is possible to install Windows 7 on the notebook.  To do so, you would need a Windows 7 disc.  However, it is not recommened for this notebook, because there are no Windows 7 drivers available for this product on the HP site.  So you may have driver, or compatibility issues if you choose to install Windows 7.

Based on the following guide, here are the upgrade options for the notebook:
