WHY? There is no need to have Windows 7 and 8 on the same machine.

If you just don't like 8 then you can customize Win 8 to run like 7.
but it works too slow on my pc and not a single game works on my pc so i wanted to have windows 7 for gaming.i beleive there would be no problem in doing so

Have you had Windows 7 before on your machine ?

What makes you believe that Win 7 will make your gaming faster ?
i previously had it and all the games worked smoothly but they now run too slow on windows 8

By the way, you can try this free software for installing dual operating systems:

but this software says that it would disable my network connection temporarily.

Did you have windows 7 on the same computer as the one that has Windows 8 ?

The operating system usually has nothing to do with game speed. Game speed all depends on the amount of ram, your graphic card and processor. If I were you, I would look at another way to increase speed other than another OS which will take a lot of HD space.

In the first place, to avoid all kinds of bugs, including gaming, I would upgrade to Windows 8.1.
