I'm a teacher in a small high school.  I want to buy a new computer for the yearbook.  I found a good deal I like on an xps8700, but it comes loaded with windows 8.1.  Our network is just upgrading from xp to  windows 7 pro.  Our tech person would be willing to try to downgrade it for me, but she is worried it could be difficult to make everything work out with drivers and everything.  I know I'm being vague.  I'm not the tech person.  Does anyone have an experience with this?  It is much more expensive to buy the same configuration with windows 7 pro preloaded, so if it would be manageable, I would love to buy the bundle I've found.  Thanks in advance for any input you can give me.
Can I reasonably downgrade a xps8700 from windows 8.1 to windows 7 pro?
