I do some tech work, unless you have a copy of Windows 7 32-bit already and just want to do it, sure. But, it isn't worth it, otherwise. If you need to buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, you can find them for $90 on Amazon. I don't think you can do an in-place upgrade with an OEM copy. So, you'll need to backup your laptop, then re-format and install Windows 7. If you are going to pay a tech to do this, you're probably looking at a couple hours. You'd be better off buying a refurbished Windows 7 Home Premium laptop. I've seen some for $150 or so and possibly higher if you want better specs. You can see if your laptop will run Windows 7 by running the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which you can dowload at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20 It will show you hardware specs, what if any software drivers may not work in Windows 7. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
