Is it possible to install a working Windows 7 OS on a G750JW-T4019H?

Hey RoG!


I am about to buy the G750JW. However, as I am buying from Germany, I only have access to European/German models. In detail, the model I am about to buy can be found here:
http://www.amazon.de/G750JW-T4019H-Notebook-4700HQ-NVIDIA-schwarz/dp/B00CHM7HCI
I was not able to find an English/North American website which displays the same model, so sorry for that!


I am planning to install Windows 7 on this laptop. Since the hard drive that comes with the laptop is said to be slow, I want to take the hard drive right out of the laptop and just replace it with a 250 GB or 500 GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO. On this SSD, I want to install Windows 7.

However, is it even possible to have a working Windows 7 on this machine? Are there drivers for it? From what I have seen, the Asus website does not provide Windows 7 drivers for this laptop -- where would I be able to get drivers compatible with Windows 7?
Any tutorial, or tips/hints, or just showing me the right direction, would all be very appreciated!

Regarding the SSD: Do I have to buy some kind of special version SSD for the laptop? I have seen SSDs which have the description "Laptop Kit", what does that mean? Do I have to use Laptop Kit SSDs for this laptop, or can I insert a common SSD which is used for common Desktop PCs, as well?

Thanks in advance!

Oh and PS: Metro is completely disabled along with the charms bar, so everything boots up straight to the Desktop like Windows 7, no sign of Metro or Windows 8 at all. 🙂
