    I have a Sager NP7338 with Windows 7 Pro. I am thinking of installing Windows 10 on there (shudder) to try and get comfortable with the O/S before I upgrade my desktop to Kaby Lake and likely be forced to use W10. Problem is, when I go to SagerNotebook.com, there are no W10 drivers for the NP7338 - Windows 8.1 is the best they have to offer. Same if I go to Clevo.com ...any suggestions?

    Alternatively, I just sell it and buy a new laptop with W10 pre-installed.

    Well you could try and use the 8.1 drivers. I know of a few cases where the previous version of windows drivers worked better for some laptops. Even I use some windows 8.1 drivers on my dell laptop, and it dose have windows 10 drivers available.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Decided it's time I upgrade my machine, so I'll sell the NP7338 with Windows 7 Pro on it - I don't want to pay for a new o/s that's tied to the laptop just to try it out. Now I need to figure out what the NP7338 is worth.

    Thanks Prema. If I can't get any bites selling it, I'll do that. Any idea what reasonable asking price would be? Specs here for my specific machine.
    Cheers.
