But you, dear Mashable reader, can have both at once.
I'll show you how to keep your Windows 7 installation as it is, and have the option to boot into Windows 8 on the same machine, giving you the time and experience to make an informed choice between the two.
You've been able to dual-boot previous versions of Windows for years, but now with Windows 8 it's easier than ever.
There's good news, too: Microsoft is offering until January 31, 2013, and I'll show you how to use that version to dual-boot between Windows 7 and Windows 8.
However, if you want to try Windows 8 for a while before activating — an option lenovo b590 install windows 8 with Windows 7 — lenovo b590 install windows 8 can't legally install Windows 8 unless you have a valid product key.
Then you'll be ready for this fresh install of Windows 8, side-by-side with Windows 7.
Keep in mind that a disadvantage of loading a fresh install rather than an upgrade of is that it won't transfer all your settings and applications you've so carefully curated.
However, you will have a better chance at long-term stability if you freshly install a copy of Windows 8, and with this dual-boot setup, if it turns out you don't like it one bit, you can have your machine boot by default into Windows 7 and forget the whole thing.
If you don't, click Buy Lenovo b590 install windows 8 8 and we're off and running.
Note: Unlike its lenovo b590 install windows 8, Windows 8 requires a valid Windows 8 key before you can install it.
Before you buy Windows 8, you'll download the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant application.
When you run that, it shows you this 'Let's see what's compatible' screen.
After it checks your machine for compatibility it doesn't check to see if your copy of Windows is genuine, thoughit lets you know whether software you're using will still work with Windows 8.
When the upgrade assistant is done, you'll get this 'here's what we found' screen.
Take a look at the compatibility details which don't matter much since we're not upgrading if you wish, and then click Next.
Here's the 'choose what to keep' screen, and because we're not upgrading but creating a clean installation for our dual-boot, select 'Nothing,' and click Next.
Now it's time to buy Windows 8 Pro.
Click Order, follow the payment instructions, and when you're done, you'll get a Windows 8 Pro product key on the 'thanks for your order' screen.
Copy that product key and paste it into a safe place, and I'd recommend you write that number down, too.
The installation files begin downloading, and as you can see, it is fairly quick if you have a fast connection.
Once the download is done and the download's checked and files readied, you end up on this screen.
Select Install by creating media, then click Next.
Next, let's create a separate area on your hard drive, called a partition, where Windows 8 can exist without bumping into Windows 7.
To do this, click the Start menu, right-click Computer, and select Manage.
Click Storage, and then Disk Management, and after a few seconds you'll see this screen.
Right-click the hard disk where you'd like to install Windows 8, then select Shrink Volume.
It will determine how much space you have.
Decide how much space you would like to dedicate to Windows 8.
You'll end up with a disk with a black bar on top, labeled 'unallocated.
Keep clicking Next until you see 'Format Partition.
Give your new drive a recognizable name - I chose 'Windows8'.
You are now ready to install Windows 8 Pro, without affecting your Windows 7 installation.
And no, there is no such thing as the 'any' key.
You did write down that product key, didn't you?
Here's where you'll be asked to enter it.
Do so, and then click Next.
On this screen, be sure to click the second choice, 'Custom.
Here's where that recognizable name of the hard drive comes in handy.
Be sure you click on the partition you created, and then click Next.
Now you can sit back and relax for a while as Windows 8 installs.
Once the installation is done, here's the screen you'll see after your computer boots.
You can choose either Windows 7 or Windows 8.
If you don't select one of them in 30 seconds and that time is adjustablethe default is Windows 8.
Click 'change defaults or choose other options' and you can designate your comfy old Windows 7 as the default.

You can uninstall Windows 10 and roll back to Windows 7 or 8.
This trick has a few requirements, but if you meet them returning to your previous version of Windows is relatively quick and painless.
When you uninstall Windows 10, your files shouldn't be affected, but you might have to reinstall some apps and any settings changes you made after the upgrade to Windows 10 will be lost.
It's a good idea to back up your computer before proceeding.
That is, you didn't do a clean install but rather upgraded Windows while letting the upgrade wizard keep your files and programs.
That folder is created during the upgrade and some people delete it to save space on their hard drives, but it's needed for the rollback operation.
If you don't meet all three requirements above, you'll have to reinstall Windows 8.
Otherwise, here's how to go back to your previous version of Windows.
You can do this from the Start Menu.
Go to Recovery and then click the Get lenovo b590 install windows 8 button under Go back to Windows 8 or Lenovo b590 install windows 8 7 4.
Check your reason for rolling back and click Next.
Click 'No, thanks' to skip checking for updates.
Keep clicking Next to go through Microsoft's warnings screens about rolling back.
They're annoying, but worth knowing: 7.
Click 'Go back to Windows 8' to roll back.
Windows will restart and restore your previous version of Windows.
After about 10 minutes, you'll see your previous login screen.

I upgraded from factory installed Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade.
So I went to settings and clicked to remove Windows 10 and recover Wind7.
Now I see a black screen with a window and a spinning circle of Dots.
I don't know if it is stuck in a boot mode or if it's still taking out windows 10.
I tried to shut it off and get into a safe mode, I could not do that.
I hope you have some suggestions.

Will tell people to not bother with it.
Do not install windows 10 the worst ever.
I don't have access to my cam without relinquishing my privacy rights to Microsoft, that is bullshit.
They want to be in control of everything.
I want to revert to windows 8 but I passed the time limit, now I'm thinking of starting fresh with a non Microsoft windows program like Linux or chrome.
When I click on 'Go to Backup and Restore Windows 7 in the Settings menu, I get a message saying 'No usable drive was found.
Below that, it says 'File History is off'.
Below that, there is a button that says 'Turn on', but the button is grayed out and I can click it to turn File History on.
I did verify that there are files in the Windows.
