    PC Specialist offer the choice between Windows 7 or 8 (or no OS at all).

    Buseness laptops (i.e. Dell's Vostro and Latitude series or Lenovo's T series) can be ordered with Windows 7 Professional.

    Any Windows 8 Pro customer is entitled to a free downgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

    Look for stock clearance sales of older models with Windows 7.

    But of course.

    (You may have to enable Legacy Boot in the BIOS in order to make it work.)

    Depends on what you're looking for.

    Assuming you already have an operating system (since you want to install Windows 7 on a new computer), have a look around at PC Specialist. Their computers can be ordered without OS, saving you around €80.
