Awesome! Thanks so much! And thank you to all the others who responded as well.

Oh, so you're saying I could work in Win 7 and if I want to do something on Win 8, I could just reboot, change which partition boots, and viola!...use Win 8?

Holy tech talk, AM2A. lol Not sure I understood that last part. I just looked and I already have a second partition that has the recovery for my windows 8. Do you think the recovery would still work if I transferred it to a flash drive to save for later use should I need it, hence freeing up...

So if the answer is no to my two above questions, I suppose what I must do is, suck it up, purchase and download Win 7, download the USB/Flash drive ISO thingy to convert the .ISO file to the flash drive, and begin a complete wipeout and reinstall using the flash drive? Is that right?

Okay, another funky question. Can I simply transfer my Win 8 with all the programs and such the way they are and transfer it all to the second partition...then go and install Win 7 on the main partition? This way I can pull anything from there to my main partition with Win 7...is that even an...

Yeah, I was told Win 8 was not compatible at this time. Is there a way to install Win 7 and not lose all my programs? Probably not, but thought I'd ask anyway. I'm trying to figure out how to save all my emails. I definitely need those if I have to reinstall Outlook. Thank you all for...

Hey, BDiddy: The program I will be running is actually going to run using IE. It's called Scribe. It's a medical transcription platform. I'm not sure what the problem is - the recruiter simply said Win 8 is not compatible at this time. This is very frustrating! I don't have time to do all...

I purchased an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 a few months ago. Of course it came with crappy Win 8. I finally got a new job and they REQUIRE Win 7. I can't use my old laptop with Win 7 because the headphone jack port and the USBs are all effed up, and I would need both of those for my headphones...
