Can i install win 7 over win 8?

[JamesUK]

Hi, i have a laptop that had windows 7 home premium on, i upgraded windows 8 over it and have now realised i'd like to go back to windows 7, but am i able to do so without having to format my drive and lose everything, or will setup give me an option to downgrade etc?

thanks

james

You'll need to do a clean install. Backup data before proceeding.
