Is my windows 10 only laptop allowed to run Windows 8.1 or Windows 7? I tried with windows 8.1, but it didn't work

You see, windows 10 is becoming worse and worse.

Disabled cortana, she still works in the background

Plus, My windows 10 gaming experience is bad for a game, It is a weird game called ROBLOX I was trying it out the other day and this one game "Jailbreak" lags a bit.

My specs and model:

Model: Lenovo G50-80

Processor: intel i7 5500u

Installed RAM: 4 Gigabytes

System type: 64 Bytes

Please tell me! I'm looking forward to Windows 8.1!

The problem with laptops is that the device drivers for older OSs are not available. Your biggest problem is the 4GB RAM. That is too small today.

Yeah 4GB RAM today is so 2008-2010. Take a quick walk back in history on mainstream RAM requirements for acceptable system performance:

2000 - 256MB
2002 - 512MB
2004 - 2GB
2008 - 4GB
2012 - 8GB
2016 - 16GB
2020 - 32GB (?)

There's a pattern there.

first of all if your laptop original comes with windows 10 usually there are no drivers from the manufacturer for 7 and 8.1 so u might be stuck with 10.also u need more ram.4gb wont cut it nowdays if u are loooking for a smooth experience.windows process will chuck that 4gb in no time.

According to Lenovo it can run WIN 7, 8.1, 10 . THere may be other limitations and you should look on the support site for your specific model/serial #

00F. I used windows 7 at a 2 gb ram or so

it is advanced but since Jailbreak runs for like, gaming laptops and has advanced scripts.

Windows 8.1 is the best for me. But it breaks down my network driver.

Windows 7 can run advanced with 4 GB Also, isn't it weird that i got this laptop fresh off of 2016 yet it had 4 gb?

Dang it! Welp, I wish I could go to the past and get a windows 8.1 laptop.
