Hi, I was wondering if I installed a Windows 8 Software and have Windows 7, if by resetting it to Factory Setting will go back to Windows 7. Also, I mean for sure!!

Welcome to the forum,
Here's a for sure way,
VMware Player - Install Windows 8
You don't mess up your win 7 and no restore just delete the virtual 8 machine.
VMware installs just like any other program, then just follow the tutorial.

If Factory Recovery will not run from its partition or disks, then follow these steps to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
If you haven't done this yet, then be sure to make your Win7 Recovery Disks and save a Win7 backup image so you have two methods to recover. But the reinstall is a much cleaner and better install if you want to try that.
