I can’t downgrade [there’s irony] this laptop because there are no Win7 drivers for the hardware.
I. Am. Trapped.

Microsoft strong-arms the manufacturers to keep them from releasing Win7 compatible drivers. Why else would they have Win10, MacOS, Linux, and not Win7?

AMD doesn’t “officially” support Win 7 on their new hardware, but I’m running Win 7 with a Ryzen chip. Just choose the right parts (Gigabyte is compatible, with the right drivers to download).
There’s workarounds. :)

I like Windows 7... I’m really tired of being forced to upgrade.
