I have recently purchased a GT70 2OD with a Haswell CPU a GTX 780 GPU and 3 x 128GB Super Raid SSD. Unfortunately, it came pre-installed with Windows 8.
Whatever Microsoft are thinking about with this utter nonsense OS is beyond me. I have now installed Windows 7, which of course meant changing Bios boot type to legacy and deleting all the factory default partitions and losing whatever services came with them. However, my problems are that not all of the drivers that came bundled with the laptop (W8 drivers) are working so well with the Windows 7 install. On the MSI website, their is no option for Windows 7 drivers to be downloaded for this laptop. Could anyone tell me where I might find appropriate drivers? That's odd, it really doesnt have the drivrs for Windows 7.

May I ask what it was that you don't like about Windows 8? If its just the Start Menu why not get? I know its after the fact and you have already formated and installed Windows 7 but you may want to give it another try after 8.1 hits, suppose to fix a lot of the gripes people had/have with it. I have used Windows since 2.0 and remember being upset with the Start Menu when it was introduced in Windows 95. Long story short I was able to get use to Windows 8 and going back to Windows 7 machines feels odd to me now. If you dead set on getting Windows 7 working on that laptop you can try to go to (requires, works great in Chrome. It will find and install most of the things Intel based in your laptop.
The Killer Network card model number is not listed on the specifications page of your laptop so figure out what the model number of it is (the ethernet and wireless card) and go and download the drivers needed. Make sure you already have your Intel Graphics Driver installed and try to go and download the drivers for your Video Card. I just noticed that the 780M isn't even listed, This is a case of early adopter woes. (I had the same problem when my 675MX had just came out.) The Windows 8 one on the MSI download page should work but I don't know for sure. If the doesn't work let me know and I will try and make you an custom INI file to add it for you. (can't guarantee it will work or not). For Audio I believe should work for you.
The only things after that I can think of you will need is the KLM (Keyboard Light Manager), The touchpad driver, the Super Charger, etc, etc. All of that can be found under the downloads section. Yes it states Windows 8 on 99.9% of the things there but a lot of the operating system is identical, things like Backlight Control may not work correctly as your system appears to only have a Windows 8 Embedded Controller available for it. Beyond this I can't think of anything else to help you with. I have given you everything I have.
I really wish you give Windows 8 another chance, yes, its awkward at first but I mean come on, How often are you in the Start Menu and if you're there a lot how much time do you spend in there? I just use start Search (just type what I'm looking for and smack enter, takes me right where I want to got. I used this method in Windows Vista and Windows 7 FWIW. (oh and if you want Windows 8 back you don't need the key its in the BIOS and will auto insert its self when you install it) Good Luck and hope everything works out for you.

Aside from the awkward layout of Windows 8, I experienced more system hangs and crashes in one night with Windows 8 than I do in 6 months with Windows 7. And then there would be further weird stuff such as an app crashing in the 'desktop' app, forcing me to end the 'desktop' app itself, in order that I regain control of my system.
I would then be stuck in the Metro UI and any attempt to go back into 'desktop' would be met with an empty desktop screen with no icons. I would then be forced to restart, and when I would go into my desktop 'app' ('app', not 'shell'), the app would load up with the same crashed program running in its same forzen state. Also I think the difference with the 'Start Bar' and the Metro UI, is that although the Start Bar was a different way of doing things back in its day, it was at least totally suited to mouse and keyboard. The Metro UI just isn't.
I really could go on and on.and on. But I hope to put W8 behind me now. Funnily enough, none of the utilites that came preinstalled with W8 seemed to work particularly well with it. All of them, from the keylight program to the screen manager program, would hang and freeze like hell, I am suspecting that at least those, will install straight into W7 and function as they are supposed to. Most likely you have the Big Foot E2200 and the 1202 Wireless card.
The latest drivers from Killer Networks (I forget the revision, I just tried the most recent ones) work VERY well in Windows 8 finally. Previously I had to use some special drivers posted here on the forums from MSI, otherwise I would get random BSoD's related to the E2200 specifically. As far as the NVidia drivers, there isn't much that can be done about it. If NVidia hasn't released drivers on their website, there isn't much that you can do about it unfortunately.
I'd really suggest going back to Windows 8. It can be changed to make it be almost 100% the same as Windows 7 without many adjustments really. I'm running Windows 8 and I have absolutely 0 problems (granted I have an older GT70-0NE, but still.) with it at all. It's not nearly as pretty as Windows 7, but it works just as well, possibly better. Most likely you have the Big Foot E2200 and the 1202 Wireless card.

I don't think I have a straight forward option anymore to go back to Windows 8, as I had to wipe all the various partitions, one of which no doubt was the MSI recovery factory default partition, in order to get Windows 7 installed in the first place. Metode gambling snmptn. But then, from what I seen of Windows 8, I really wasn't impressed. Having said that, I now realise that probably many of the problems that I was having with the laptop in its factory default condition was not the fault of Windows 8, but the fault of MSI. The USB 3 ports dont work under Windows 7, just like they didn't under Windows 8, and I have now discovered for myself, the evils of the Killer E2200 Network card/drivers. They truly do live up to their name by killing the network. With Windows 8, intermittent and strangled internet connection, under Windows 7, things were fine, until I installed the Killer E2200 drivers.I got rid of them by System Restore and all things regarding internet are fine again.
Shocking fayre from MSI really. If people are being asked to pay £2000 + for a laptop, it really really should all be in working order at the time of sale.
Even the LCD backlight panel program is unresponsive, counter intuitive and/or just plain doesn't work.I mean how hard can it be to at least get that right!?

Before you continue bashing MSI (Which isn't tolerated here by the way.), consider the fact that you're complaining now that you installed an unsupported OS on a brand new laptop. Windows 7 is not supported on the GT70-20D. While I don't have a GT70-20D, I have a GT70-0NE and honestly, the only problems I have run into has actually been due to crappy drivers by someone (The Windows 7 E2200 drivers were absolutely horrid for a long period of time, they're much better now). On top of that, you are most likely missing or using incorrect drivers for a number of parts. Obviously the USB 3.0 is a problem, and this is the 2nd thread you've complained about it. I'm fairly certain that if there was a systemic problem, there would be more than 1 user on this forum complaining about it.
Lastly, I'll just take a second to remind you of the value. How much would you pay for a similar Dell XPS/Alienware/Sager/Clevo or other high end branded laptop with the same hardware? Easily $500 or more right off the bat without any extras. Yes, you might get slightly better service, but even that is questionable anymore with most companies.
There's also the Dr. Cleaner's cleaning capabilities still have room for improvements while compared to that of (you can real my full review for details).

Most likely you went with the GT70 for the same reason I did, the value of the laptop for what you were paying was incredibly good. If you're having so many problems with it and it's brand new, I'd suggest either returning it saying that it's faulty and that it doesn't work, or doing an RMA.

If you're having so many problems with it and it's brand new, I'd suggest either returning it saying that it's faulty and that it doesn't work, or doing an RMA. I was complaining before I Installed Windows 7. The problems that I was having played a large part in my decision to get rid off Windows 8. Only after installing Windows 7 do I realise that the biggest issues that I had were nothing to do with Windows 8 at all.
Also, MSI definitely are not a 'value' brand of laptop. The GT70 2OD I have is just £150 or so cheaper than the Alienware near equivalent, The Alienware comes with a 4900MQ instead of a 4700MQ but only one 256GB SSD instead of the 3x128GB Super Raid SSD. The Clevo options, are much better value in terms of what you get under the hood and what I have in this GT70, I could have gotten for some £600 cheaper had I opted for Clevo.
However, I recently RMA'd a Clevo due to the HD7970 gfx switching issues, but to be honest, whilst the collection of components in these laptops are offered at benchmark cheap rates, the build quality of these laptops is poor and the speaker sound quality (often overlooked but quite important I think), is intolerable. By comparison, the MSI build quality is excellent as is the sound quality that I get from this laptop. I have never owned an Alienware, but they say the build quality of those are second to none. Ultimately, I think there is in general no 'bargain' or 'rip off' options, and we tend to get what we pay for.providing it works, that is.
