Hi Guys!

I recently purchased the Asus K401LB ( i5 Edition , Geforce GT 940m with Windows 10 Pre-installed)

Since I plan to use an SSD for it, and I don't like Windows 10/8.1 or 8 and enjoy the reliability of Win7, I plan to downgrade it to Windows 7 Ultimate

But when I checked the ASUS Support page, the drivers available are either for Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 and no drivers for Windows 7

With that In mind, is the downgrade to Windows 7 possible? I usually use Driver toolkit to install the needed drivers after downgrading will that be able to install the needed drivers or would I experience some software problems

Thanks! Any help would be appreciated :)

NVidia has the win7 video driver, realtek has the win7 audio driver as I use that 1. intel has the chipset driver as I use that. can download the realtek lan & wireless drivers from realtek. card reader from here http://www.asus.com/support/Download/3/479/0/10/30/
other intel drivers from intel
I've done downgrades a few times with no issues.
