Probibly not , from what I've been able to research , they have never produced system drivers for Windows 7 for this model.

Try installing Classic Shell Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements , you can get the feel of Windows 7 back with the advantages of windows 8 improvements , if you can't wait for the 8.1 'boot to desktop' you can set this also as a setting in Classic Shell till then.
