    I bought this laptop a few months ago and it had Win10Home pre-installed on it. I absolutely hate Win10 and was wondering if I could install Win7 on it? I would think it's possible but I can't find any Win7 drivers on MSI website and I see BIOS warnings.

    Any thoughts?

    What he meant is that your device has NO driver support for windows 7 so while you CAN install it, a lot, if not most, of the things won't work. Additionally, the new generation of CPUs ONLY receive updates on Windows 10 (basically, Windows 7 actively blocks any and all microsoft updates if you are running Kaby Lake or Ryzen)

    Why don't you update to the latest creators update and see how Win10 improved?
