    Please do not discuss Windows 7 vs Windows 8 in this thread. I'm making this thread so there is a place that provides information as to what works/doesnt work on Windows 7 with the new Razer Blades.

    Hi all... I get my laptop TONIGHT and I couldn't be more excited. I have read snippets in various threads that MOST things work by installing the Win8 drivers from Razer's site. I will be swapping out my 128gb SSD for a 256gb SSD that I already had when I get the thing, so I am going to give Win 7 a whirl.

    So far, the only thing I have read is that the function keys do not work. Which is a pain in the . Any other issues from those of you running Win 7?

    I'll update this post after my SSD surgery tonight with my experience :)
