Thank you all - just wanted to give a quick update... after having solved the challenge with how to set "legacy boot", it went quite well, up and running since a few days on W7. It was a hassle to apply all the updates from Windows Update though - my first attempt to install 158 updates in one...

Thanks - I have collected a few drivers on the net, so I hope to get a chance to do the install during the weekend.

Hello again, sorry for the delay, was out of town. When I check the System Devices tab in the Device Manager, I get a bit confused exactly which device(s) that show the correct to investigate when determining the current chipset driver... The Win8 installation displays: >"Intel(R) Series...

Thank you... very true, but the sites are very little helpful, i.e. looking like a lot of drivers are not listed, even though they are less than 2 years old, which I find strange. OK, I'll get back over the next few days to ask for advice on those that prove elusive. And no worries with regard...

Thanks for the suggestions.. think I will stay to the clean re-branding of it, and I have no feling for how well (bad?) it will work to install Win7 on a system already running win8. I have already created a recovery image on a USB device. What does concern me are such items as chipset drivers...

I am about to install a Win7 on a new Lenovo H530 desktop that came with Win 8 pre-installed. Anyone with experience on some similar downgrade-installation for a Lenovo-desktop - and in particular, which drivers I might need to hunt down new versions of? Web-sites appear most unhelpful, with...

Thanks for the suggestion - I had just hoped there was a way to check it in beforehand.

Is there any way to determine whether a seemingly factory-sealed copy of W7Ultimate I have obtained from a private re-seller is genuine and not previously registered? Would be really nasty to go all the way and install it just to find out of any problem... Thanks in advance!

The scanner? It is a Brother MFC-6490CW

Definitely not a menu on the device - nor any specific scanner-software. I used the most basic of all ways, I presume: 1. 'Devices and Printers' > (highlight device) > 'Start scan' > (select source=feeder from the drop down menu). 2. The 'Paper Size' menu then becomes available, and displays a...

If I was only to scan one or two pages, yes.. although here we are potentiall talking 1000s of pages of a relatively large format (275 x 360 mm), so I would prefer to avoid scanning too large selection if at all possible - and unless the sizes are hard-coded it must be possible to set-up the new...

After some searching I located where to create a custom Paper size in the printer setup. However, when I proceed to scan (via the document feeder, not the flatbed), I still cannot get the newly defined custom Paper Size to appear in the pre-defined list of page-sizes that are available - and...
