Hey so I just ordered my Razer Blade Pro and I know it comes with Windows 8 instead of Windows 7. Anyone happen to have a guide on how to downgrade the Blade Pro successfully to Windows 7 while keeping everything working? or is there not a way? should I stick with Windows 8?

Just buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it like on any other machine, then install all the Razer drivers. Should work fine, but I haven't tried it myself.

Of course, he asked about Windows 7, so I thought I'd help him out with that -

I installed windows7 on my 2013 Razer blade Pro, after erasing the whole drive, including razer's back up. Everything works fine, but:
1, some of Fn+F1~12 key is not working, including adjusting the screen lightness. Adjusting volume, keyboard/IU trackpad lightness works fine.
2, Raser synapse's control over the LCD trackpad screen and the 10 key, is not working properly: sometimes the user defined picture shown on the trackpad screen will not show when the laptop is awake from sleep, while it seems to work when laptop awaken from hibernating or turn-off. Everytime when open the raser synapse, and click for IU trackpad setting, it will appear: some IU program is running, need to turn all off before setting. By clicking "OK", this will also bring the "black" trackpad screen to "the picture assigned to the trackpad screen" back.
I personally hate windows 8 on non-touchable screen laptop. That is purely a waste. Meanwhile, many windows8 features is very stupid, like I can never clean up the pictures stored in the picture folder: there will always be caches of pics. Toggling the input method is also very tricky in win8...
I am not regret changing to win7 till now, but i hope razer will solve the problems i mentioned above. -
