    No, because I paid extra to get Windows 7 over Windows 8. And I don't much see the point in switching to a "Windows 8 that looks a bunch more like Windows 7!"

      Paid extra?

        I bought a retail copy of Windows 7 and installed it over my Win 8 laptop. Tracking down the drivers were a nightmare, but I really don't like Windows 8. Granted, Windows 10 fixes most of the problems, but I'm kind of taking a, "Why bother?" stance. Everything works now, so I see no reason to upgrade.

          What brand laptop

            It's an ASUS. I really like it! The keyboard is that modern style where the keys require a bit more pressure, but those seem mostly standard at this point. And other than that, I've been really happy with it.

              You could have downloaded the ASUS Windows 7 ISO and installed a totally legitimate OS for free

              @gtwy -

              I looked into that, but I didn't have a valid Windows 7 product key, and downgrading from Windows 8 to 7 required a copy of Windows 8 Pro.
