    You are free to install any operating system you choose, however, Acer will only provide support on the pre-installed Operating Systems. If possible create a recovery media for the operating system shipped with your laptop.

    You should not have any issues installing windows 7. I see that the drivers for windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) for this model are available for download at Acer website https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/255?b=1.

    Следует учесть, что ОС W7, более ресурсоемкая чем W XP по этой причине, возможно еле заметное увеличение времени загрузки ОС, и незначительное замедление при выполнении ресурсоемких задач.
