Hi,
I have just bought the MSI GS702OD-409UK STEALTH from OC which came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed along with other software that I don't want/need.
I have been reading this information that states that wiping Windows 8.1 and installing Windows 7 isn't a good idea due to the different BIOS versions.
Can someone let me know if I can just wipe and install Windows 7 on to the notebook (something I have done many other times on laptops that came with Windows 8 pre-installed) without running into issues.
Also, I can't seem to find any Windows 7 drivers listed for this notebook, only references to Windows 8.1.
I would assume that the drivers CD that came with the laptop would have the Windows 7 drivers included?
