I have problems with my Windows 8 due to compatibility issues with some of my applications. I need remove this Windows 8 and install Windows 7.
How do I do this?

Formatting a Windows 8 drive to install Windows 7

If you have to ask then bring your computer to a reputable shop and get them to downgrade for you. Depending on the edition of Windows 8 you are licensed with Windows 7 might be free. That is called "Downgrade Rights." If you do not qualify for that however then you will need to purchase a separate Windows 7 license and those run around USD$100.

Create a partition which is about 40-50GB (just for now) then put your install CD/USB device in, boot from it and install to the partition you made, format the windows 8 partition, then change the size of the other partition.
