Right on both.
It's not a Dell only problem. The Microsoft Surface Pro series of devices do not support Windows 7 either.

XPS are home user computers 2. Why would someone even try to run Win 7 on a touch enabled device? I mean, I hate Windows 8 but I'd run it over 7 on a touch device.

Dell designs the XPS platforms to focus on the latest technology, both from a hardware and software perspective. With that being the goal, the XPS systems don't typically support older OSes as they are designed to be used with the latest OS available.

We noticed Dell has not provided anything but Windows 8.1 drivers for this model (why?) These have the 32 GB SSD and 500 GB SATA drives. We got a list of all the Windows 8.1 drivers and then went the various mfg. driver sites and downloaded Windows 7 versions of each. We know we have turn off UEFI and secure boot, but was wondering if anyone had a working TS that will account setting the 500 GB drive as C:\ and put the OS on there, but still utilize the SSD feature.
