Can Windows 7 OS be installed on a PC that came with W8

It may be possible depending on the computer but the question is, Are there Windows 7 drivers available!!
Why would you want to do that, Windows 8 is much more secure and can be made to look and act like Windows 7: See this

Well, the PC is not booting up to windows 8. There is a problem with it. I can purchase windows 7 disks cheaper so I thought If I could install it on the PC why not try. Makes Sense? Thanks

If Windows 8 is not booting, can you perform a Factory Restore through the recovery partition or use Recovery Disks hopefully you created when you got the computer.
