How to install w7 over w8

Hi all,
I'm going to buy a laptop and want an SSD with W7 O/S. I've looked at s/hand jobs but I can get a new Asus model X750JN-TY050H at a reasonable price. It has W8.1 installed on a 1Tb HDD but I want to put in a 256Gb SSD, load W7 on it and use the HDD for storage etc.
Questions/Problems:
From what I read Asus do not supply W7 drivers for this model.
How to get all the necessary drivers and which ones do I need?
Can I just format the HDD and install W7 on the SSD or are there associated problems?
Should I just learn to live with W8.......(I'd rather drink liquid mercury).
Bottom line, can it be done and how to do it?

Why not just download Classic Shell? Windows 8 benefits with really the only deal breaker in most peoples eyes, start screen.
Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

As far as drivers, I see they have 8.1 listed, you could possibly try those.

Or you can use drivermax

You should have no problem wiping the HDD and installing Windows 7 the SSD. You'll need a valid Windows 7 product key or try to downgrade windows 8 to 7 and then use the Win7 key to install and activate it on the SSD.

Thanks Moe/Greg,
problem solved, bought an Asus with W7 O/S in near new condition on the cheap. Happy little vegemite!

Then, there's Stardock...
