Can you replace the operating system? It would seem that replacing the operating system would improve its performance.

Technically, if you knew how to root the phone and such you could. I am not certain on how that pertains to the manufacturers warranty or AT&T; policies. But as a matter of technical can do's; then yes. It would be possible.

YES-Just make sure you have the most updated drivers for your operating system.

Sure - you might have to initialize it for your operating system, but absolutely

Absolutely! I replaced the HD with an SSD (Samsung Pro 840 250GB). The computer works amazingly fast and it is so reliable especially after it was upgraded to Windows 8.1.

Well. If you update your system, it will be fixed. That being said, Microsoft really needs to improve their system to tailor to these HD laptops, otherwise, software windows just look awful.

I'd consider doing a dual boot just in case the second OS doesn't take properly.

Hey, more RAM, better performance; faster CPU, better performance.The SSD is the best boot speed upgrade. Incredible!Put your operating system on it for a new experience.No moving parts. Maybe approaches light speed. <Grins>Best wishes.

No it does not come with an operating system. You have to install what ever operating system you currently have on your laptop and then install all of your drivers and software that you have.

I don't believe so, but I suppose if the "system without an operating system" can still recognize and read/write to external hard drives then it is possible.

As long as you have a clean Win 7 copy, sure. Can you downgrade win 8 that's on it to win 7? No. They push out new systems with the new operating system to further that gen of software

No, but you can format to your system's operating system when you insert it into your device.

The operating sys is win 8, a far superior system that win XP (which was tops years ago). But your question about computer comparability is not answerable because you need to furnish the name of your processor and the amount of random access memory your older computer had.

Yes it can. In fact it came without any operating systems so I had to download everything myself.

If you are trying to ask if you can turn it into a boot drive where you can load OS's from then yes you can. You will have to download specific software that will wipe the drive and then install the OS onto the drive to be installed on your computer.

I myself am disappointed with Windows 8. I am a technical person and removing one operating system with another can be tricky depending upon the type of machine you have. After discussion with a local computer shop I do business with, told me they charge $200 for the operating system and the labor cost to replace. They are doing many replacements of this nature and having difficulty keeping windows 7 in stock for sale because of this. If you are not technical then replacing an operating system may be extremely difficult for you. With some laptops, for example, you have to change some BIOS settings before you can boot your machine from the installation disk. Do your research for your particular machine on how to replace 8 with 7 before you spend any money. Also look into a free program call ClassicShell with makes windows 8 screen look like Windows 7 after installation - start button and all. It has quirks but makes 8 more useable if you don't have a touch screen. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you in your endeavor.

This OS can better take advantage of modern hardware than Windows 7. That is about the only advantage to using Win8 vs Win7.

Yes but you might lose warranty and if the OS installed is not 64 bit, you wont be able to see the difference after 4gb of RAM
