Just a quick question regarding windows 8.1, I'm going to be buying a laptop, preferably the razer blade as I've been looking at a lot of options, Is it compatiable with AB? just need to know, otherwise I'll be reformatting It to win 7.
From my experience with windows 8 I'd reformat it. 8 has been a giant pain in the ass for me.
I got honorbuddy to work just fine on my laptop with 8 on it, but it took way more effort than 7.
P.S.
Ask around or check if you can reformat it to 7 though, because a lot of companies are not supporting backwards compatibility.
I tried to roll back a windows 8 HP computer for a company.
They bought it at Sams in a pinch and after I plugged in a drive with 7 on it, it wouldn't boot.
I called the help desk and they said that windows 7 is not supported by that particular model, so I can't roll it back or re-format it unless it happens to be windows 8 with their driver pack pre-installed.
Needless to say I was pissed, built them another custom PC, and they took the HP computer back.

Thanks for your reponse, I will ask their support prior to buying it, but with a little research I found If you follow this you can format It to win 7.
