Can i downgrade my SVT1312B4E from Windows 8 to Windows 7?

[hamzah_haq]

I want to Downgrade my Ultrabook to windows 7, how ever, im not having any luck. I really do not like windows 8, hence would like to downgrade to windows 7.

Also, I am also unable to do anything with the Partitions located on the Disk Management. Unable to resize or even format them.

Model: SVT1312B4E

Please help me!!

Hi hamzah_haq and welcome.

Sony do not support a downgrade to Windows 7.

All you can do is download all the Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities from a model which has a similar spec but was sold with Windows 7 installed.

Try something like the SVT1311C4E from here:

Although most basic downloads are available for Windows 7, you will lose all other preinstalled software which is not available for download.

It took me a lot of searching just to get into the BIOS on this thing to be able to boot from the Win 7 CD. But that is as far as I can get. It doesn't list any drives to install Win 7 onto. I have had a search around and I am stumped. Win 8 is awful and I want to get back to something that works. WHY is this not simple.
