What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? https://yearofthedawg.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/motivatedphotos-com-force-stop.jpg In all seriousness, I know that Windows 7 is not supported on many (most) modern Tablet machines, the Microsoft Surface line included. A quick search of the Dell Driver Pack Catalog shows no Windows 7 drivers for the Venue 11 Pro. I assume that the reason you say "can't" is because of some kind of certification (healthcare) process? Or App compatibility? Training? IMHO - My recommendation is to get Windows 8.1 certified, at least for Tablet Devices. I know many companies that have two or more standard OS'es for just this very reason. If your imaging deployment process is well automated, spinning up a new OS SKU should be easier. Additionally, I wouldn't allow my IT department to support any configuration that isn't supported by the OEM(s), and such configurations should never be "certified". $.02 -k From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MDT-OSD] Dell Venue on Windows 7?

I'm not sure how to respond. It is not as if windows 8 is some big secret that no one knows about. Obviously this would be easier if I could use windows 8. I can't. Thanks for the "suggestion" though. Looking for tablet device currently in production that can run windows 7 x64 especially looking for any guidance on Dell venue 11 if possible. Just missing the touchscreen on the venue 11 at the moment. Can't get it to run in 7.

I have a need for some tablet PCs running Windows 7 x64. Previously we were buying Sansung ATIV 7 series, but those have gone out of production. Being a Dell shop, we would prefer to buy from Dell, however I have been unable to get the Venue 11 to fully work on Windows 7. My last stumbling block is the touch screen and audio. Sound for this project I can do without, but no touchscreen is a deal-breaker. Has anyone here been able to put Windows 7 on one of those Venue 11 Pros successfully? I’d be open to other suggestions for Windows 7 x64 tablets that are still in production too.
