Can I have Windows 8 removed on a new computer and install Windows 7Home Premium?

I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 slots for RAM.  I just have to answer at least 1 GB of RAM required for Windows 7 upgrade. I would like to have more than just the minimum RAM.   I'm not sure that the increase in RAM by buying two 1 GB RAM is all that is required to upgrade to Windows 7 and still have a stable and reliable computer.  If I bought a new computer with installed Windows 8, Windows 8 could be removed and the Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead?

Thank you.

If you have an old XP PC with only 1 GB of RAM, it is not likely to Win7 or 8 to run at all.

If you buy a new computer, you can downgrade (people feel it is really an upgrade) to Windows 7 only if you have Windows 8 Pro. It is not normally sold on consumer machines. You would have taken specially for her.  In this case, one lets you find a computer that comes with Windows 7 installed. There are still a few available for sale.

If you just want to buy a copy of Win7 then you could install it on a computer that is running Win8.

Microsoft says Windows 8 Pro machines can be retired legally to Win7 professional, but its restrictions on getting "real" bit Win7 are stupid

Earlier this week, I posted detailed instructions on How to "downgrade" (I use the term advisedly) a Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 machine
