    Looking for a new laptop which runs windows 7. Looking in PC World they don't sell anything other than windows 8.

    If they can't be bought in shops any thoughts on buying a refurbished one and the best sites to use?

    Laptop will be used for basic internet etc and streaming with a HDMI output. Budget is €400/500.

    You can get a win7 key for like €20 on reddit.
    Buy the windows 8 machine, format it, then re-install win 7 on it instead.

    Or buy a laptop online without an OS (Should be cheaper) and then install Windows 7 or Linux etc..
