Windows 7 Instead of Windows 8

I was looking to buy a computer, although I would like Windows 7 rather than Windows 8. This is because I am more familiar with the program and I just like it more. Anyways I was wondering if I bought a computer could it have Windows 7 when bought, instead of Windows 8. One last thing, if so would this make the computer's price drop. Lastly, if this is now possible am I able to downgrade to Windows 7 instead of 8.
Thank You,
Jacob

Hello, you can't downgrade once the computer is manufactured. All new computers being shipped to resellers (even on the manufactures website) are shipped with Windows 8 (latest OS from Microsoft)
You can still find a couple with Windows 7 but possibly not the one that you want.
Now you can buy Windows 7 separately on a disk and override Windows 8. The license for Windows 7 went down a lot since the new OS was released. Best Regards!

  • When I right-click a link, and choose "Open in new tab", it opens in a new window instead. How can I fix this?

    So I have Firefox open, and I've tried to open tabs by right clicking and choosing "open in new tabs", but it opens in a new window instead. And yes, there are no problems with being able to open new tabs by pressing the ctrl t.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • How, when I sign out of Hotmail (MSN), sign back in with a different account, and click on Hotmail, can I get it to open in the same tab (or at least same window) instead of in a new window?

    Under options I've checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Yet often when I must sign back into Hotmail, it opens in a new window. I would prefer that it open in the MSN sign-in tab or at least in the same window, but am not given a choice. If there is no way to control that, can I move tabs from one window to another window?

    Thanks. I read the article but don't understand whether or not I can change the preference with regard to Hotmail.

  • Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

    After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame.  Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame?  I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this.   However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use.  (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
    Example: 
        <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
          <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
          <Actions>
            <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
              <Properties>
                <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
                <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
                <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
                <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
                <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
              </Properties>
              <Descriptions default=""/>
            </Action>
          </Actions>
        </ItemType>

    We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin.  Made a copy and renamed file.  Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no".  Uploaded new file in UWL admin.  Re-registered systems, cleared cache.  Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
    We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

  • Preview - displays a blank window instead of the jpg???

    Installed SL yesterday, and now Preview displays a blank window instead of the jpg??? The jpg opens in iPhoto.
    Anyone one else? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ron,
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.Preview.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
    Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, emtpy the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, right or control click that image, then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info window click Open with. You may have to click the discovery triangle.
    Click the pop menu and select the application you want to open that image with... you may have to navigate to your Applications folder to make a selection.

  • Opening a URL/File in new window instead of new tab

    I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to check anyway.  When setting an action to Open URL or File for a button/click box/hyperlink/etc, is there a setting in Captivate to open the URL/File in a new WINDOW instead of a new TAB? I know to use the "New" setting along with the Open URL or File action. I assume opening in a new window instead of a new tab by default is going to depend on the settings of whatever browser you use, but like I said, just wanted to check. Thanks!

    If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
    window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

  • When I open a new window, it opens behind the exist ing window instead of in front of it. How can I fix this?

    When I click on a link and I choose the option to open link in a new window, it opens behind the currently open window instead of in front of it. This is a real nuisance. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

    Hi alanbala,
    There are several possible reasons why the new window opens in the background and not in the foreground by default.
    # another installed program is causing this
    # the Firefox main window is set to Always on Top
    # probably a Windows 7 bug
    # possibly a Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013]
    What you can do is
    # update your Windows 7 to the latest security patches
    # open Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode (see KB article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]])
    # evaluate the other programs installed on your computer
    # open new links on a new tab
    Let us know your progress. I will be following this support thread.

  • Printer is asking for an user acces code instead of windows login and password?

    I have been seeing the HP printers asking(LaserJet M4555 MFP, LaserJet 500 color MFP M575 etc) for user access code instead of windows login and password.
    One thing i have noticed  is that when this happens there is a slight change in the EWS page configuration at security -> access control.The device administrator tabe is unchecked as you can see below ehen this happens
    Have tried cold resetting the printer and restore facory settings but this does not works and some thimes it does works for a while but the issue is returing back.
    We do not need this access code promt instead we need the usual windows login and password that used be there originally.
    alsothis is how the settings look like after a cold reset somtimes when it does not  asks for user access code , the problem is cold rese does lways works and it reverts back ois original settings

  • Can I partition my hard drive to hold Windows 8 (Beta), instead of Windows 7, and can I do this with an external CD drive?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion installed, but my CD drive inside my computer is damaged*, and it's far cheaper to buy an external CD drive than to repair it entirely. Before I do either, I would like some grasp of whether or not it's worth my time and money, as I've yet to order the external drive or make a genius bar appointment.
    Also, the reason I'm choosing Windows 8 (Beta) is because it's free.
    *I dropped my computer once two years ago. I haven't even used my CD drive until recently when trying to install Windows 8. I assume the drop was the issue. I've used compressed air to remove dirt/dust as well as resetting the PRAM multiple times and nothing seems to work, but I'm not worried about it.
    Thank you.

    Can I partition my hard drive to hold Windows 8 (Beta), instead of Windows 7, and can I do this with an external CD drive?
    No and No.
    1: Apple only supports Windows 7 at this time in BootCamp (direct install into a bootable partition) because Win 8 is in Beta and no Mac hardware drivers are available yet from Apple for Windows 8.
    2: You can't install Windows from a external cd drive into BootCamp, it has to be a internal one far as I know, perhaps a USB will work I don't know.
    Yes:
    1: You can download and install Windows 8 Beta into a the free virtual machine software called VirtualBox, which Windows 8 will run in a window in OS X. This is better as it's still in Beta and Windows Beta releases will expire. Plus Windows 8 is a pain in the behind and you will want to be able to have VirtualBox or OS X be able to regain control over the computer.

    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • Putting method in graphic window instead of console

    Hello!
    I want my blackjack game to run in a graphical window instead of in the console.
    I have already made 2 buttons that starts the method(the blackjack game) and that shuts down the program. But when the program starts the text is printed in the console (which means that I have to write in the console if I want a new card or stand).
    Help is very much appreciated!

    OK :P
    Yeah I got it to compile correctly when I changed:
    "public void K�rspel() {"
    to
    "public String K�rspel() {"
    but the problem now is that none of the graphical stuff shows and the program is looping endlessly haha :P

    Do you think it can be because of the containers? That I need to change to JPanel instead? I am going to try it also and see what happens.

  • Firefox homepage button opens new window instead of new tab

    When I hit the homepage button on the Firefox toolbar, it now opens a whole new window instead of a new tab. It used to work until I upgraded to Firefox 9. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

    In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

    Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
    * http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
    ''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
    You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.

  • If i open a new window instead of a new tab, in the new window does not appear the menu tab

    i want to open new windows instead of tabs and in the new window should appear the menu tab and scrolling up and down, but now with the new version the menu tab does not appear and i cannot scroll up and down.

    Do you mean opening a window via the File menu (File > New Window) or do you always want to open links that you click on web pages in a new window?

  • How to go fullscreen in windows instead of full display?

    I'm trying to find a way to tell Firefox that fulscreen = window size as opposed to my display size. ie, when I have a floating window (not-maximized, taking up only part of the screen) I want Firefox to be contained in that window instead of taking up the full display.
    If relevant:
    OS = Fedora Rawhide 64bit
    Firefox = v31
    WM = i3

    Would this still apply to your linux version? Maximize button is an option here: [http://linux-update.blogspot.com/2011/03/firefox-4-get-tabs-in-title-bar-like.html]
