Is it possible install Windows Vista on a Gateway laptop that came with Windows 8 preinstalled?

Q

I recently bought a new Gateway laptop. I like the computer, but I hate Windows 8, even though I have tried for several weeks to get used to it. I really hate this OS, and would like to uninstall it and install Windows Vista. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it?

You will first need to go to the manufacturers website for your model computer and first find out if there are Windows 7 native drivers available. A lot of computers that come preloaded with Windows 8 do not have native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there are no native drivers, you will have to consider returning the machine and purchasing a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the manufacturers catalogue for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business line will have these options. Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7,
