Problems downgrading win8 to win7 Vaios S13 laptop
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
I purchased a Sony Vaio S13 Windows 8 Laptop Model SVS13A290X. Im not very fond of Win 8 so I tried installing Windows 7 with the drivers provided by the Sony Support website but some functions like hotkeys, vaio update, battery drain issues and in general some graphic drivers issues still clutter the experience. I tried numerous reinstalls and different installation orders for each drivers with no success.
Any ideas? Should I borrow drivers from other models? Any easer way to downgrade my Win 8?

roroxiiroro,
I just experienced this with my wife's Vaio after the Restore partition failed to restore the laptop. If you haven't done the following yet, start here.
Look at #6476 in the thread. I realize it's for Windows 8 but you might give it a try. Worked for my wife's laptop running Win 7 64 bit.
