Downgrade to Windows 7 Ulti from Windows 8 standard with Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade Disk?

[vivinator]

I am purchasing a laptop which I should receive by the week after next. It comes with Windows 8 Standard. or rather just "Windows 8." I know one can downgrade to Win 7 from Win 8 Pro. I have an upgrade CD which I used to upgrade from Vista Home to Win 7 Ultimate. Can I downgrade from Win 8 Standard to Win 7 Ultimate with this CD if I so choose? Thanks.:biggrin:

You can't unfortunately. That would require a Win8 Pro licence... :|
