    i have a maxed out Dell XPS 12 which came with windows 8 pro ( which is dire ) now dell sent me out the windows 7 pro downgrade usb boot key , which I have successfully installed win 7 pro , my prob is that some of the hardware im not sure is made for win 7 , when I go onto the dell site to download drivers they wont install on the machine , when I click a specific driver and what operating system it is for , all I get is win 8

    so my videos on windows media player are all choppy and slow motion like , I think its the video card driver on that one

    any ideas what to do ???? I don't want windows 8 again , id rather sell it than go back to that
