Hi,

First of all most the laptops today comes with either Windows 8.1 or 10 but you can just downgrade it to Windows 7. Just get a retail version of Windows 7 from any PC shop that should work just fine as well or from Microsoft.

Here are some laptop that should match what you've been looking for.

Muchas gracias Laptop_Nerd! I'll check them out in the morning.

Update: I have decided to go with windows 10. Since there is no computer help where I live, it is probably better I get it already installed. My friend had 8.1 and had to go to the supplier 7 times to get 10 installed correctly.
So, after much research, I found this

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions? Thank you
