At this point, I think it's unlikely that Windows will ever be fully functional natively on the C710. What you don't know from the YouTube video is that it required an external USB mouse & keyboard to do anything with it. And without working trackpad & keyboard, a laptop is pretty worthless.<br /><br />If a way can be found to flash the Acer AO756 BIOS on the C7, then Windows support is likely, otherwise, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on it. In my opinion, the C7 is seriously underpowered for Windows 7/8 anyway.<br /><br />Your best option at the moment is probably running Windows on a virtual machine (like VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.) from Linux, if you really really NEED Windows.<br /><br />I wish I could be more optimistic here, but people have been trying for a year now, and the C710 is probably about to be discontinued, so ...Barry S.
