WDW 8 - Install program CD
First, I bought a LT Toshiba with WDW8 by default - worst money I ever spent = WDW8. Will skip the words I'm thinking at the moment. But, I have a Photoshop CD and it won't load - I can't even find...

My own experience says it is not an easy job. I finally took the hard drive out of the laptop and to it to a repair shop and asked them to remove all partitions and format the drive so it would work with Win7.
You can do this fairly straightforward yourself by downloading the freeware EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.2 Free Edition.
I chose a different route when I purchased my latest NetBook. It came with WIN 7 Home Premium installed. First, shrunk the existing hd partition by 50% using Windows Disk Management. Purchased and downloaded the WIN 8 Pro upgrade for $15. from Microsoft. Elected to make a self booting USB WIN 8 install flash drive, and choose custom install using the unallocated hd space created previously. Had to first change the boot order in my Acer by pressing the F2 key at start-up for the USB drive. Upon installation, this allowed for a dual boot OS environment, so have a choice to run either WIN 7 or WIN 8 on start-up.
I can easily adjust the hd partition allocation space between the two OS as needed. Or if decide I only need one OS in the future, can just delete the other partition, and expand the space for the existing OS to use.
