    Dears,

    Good morning.

    recently(2 weeks ago) I purchased the new Sony Vaio SVE14A27CXH. (i7, 8Gb RAM, 1Tb, 2gb video, touchscreen, etc..) and windows 8.

    Because work purpose, I prefer use Windows 7, so I formated the computer and I installed the Windows 7 but I cant find the driver for Wireless. I contacted Sony Vaio via chat and they said that drivers for Windows 7 is not available for this computador.. So I undestand that I have just one option.. use Windows 8. ( ** I tried to install the Wireless driver for Windows 8 that I found on sony webpage but dont work.)

    Anybody have idea if really dont exist wireless driver for this computador? How Sony can do one computer incompatible with Windows 7 forcing its costumers to use one of the operating system as Windows 8? I do not like Windows 8 to work .. and would like to have free choice in order to use the operating system I want to use.

    So anyway, now if I want to return for Windows 8 I need the Recovery Media or Recovery Disk.. I didnt find nothing on Internet.. I contacted Sony Vaio via Chat and they said that I need to buy the Recovery Disk,, But how can I buy the disk if I dont live in USA and the local support dont have this disk also?

    I am really very disappointed with sony and I hope someone can help me.

    Thank you
