I have been trying to downgrade my Dell e7240 with Windows 8 Professional to Windows 7 Professional for two weeks now unsuccessfully. I opened a chat with Dell and made two phone calls to Microsoft and everyone is saying I need to purchase Windows 7. This goes against everything I've seen online. What is the official word? I have my Windows 8 product key (extracted using Belarc), but that doesn't help during the Windows 7 activation process.
