Hey, im planning to buy a new laptop and in the operating system dropbox, its written:-
"Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through downgrade rights from Windows 8 Pro)".

What does this mean? Can some one explain? Thanks!
 


It means you have the right to run ( downgrade to ) Windows 7 Pro without extra charge. In short, if you do not want to run Windows 8, then don't and you won't be penalized for it when you select Windows 7 Pro.
