Installing Win7 on Inspiron i3541-2001 ???
Hi, I've just got the Inspiron i3541-2001 and I will be replacing the HD with an SSD. I would like to install Win7 on the SSD, instead of the Win 8.1 that it comes with.
Is this a bad idea? Would the laptop runs just fine if I install Win7 instead of 8.1?
Thanks

It'll run fine and Dell has provided Windows 7 drivers for it:

Update the BIOS to the latest version before upgrading the SSD and installing Windows 7.

great. thanks.
i just want to make sure that all functions and features of the laptop will run perfectly after i install win7
can i update the bios after installing the SSD? or do I have to do that first?
