Rolling back windows 8 to 7

I just bought a second hand Alienware 14 gaming laptop as my next imaging and processing computer. The @&$/ has Windows 8 on it!
I am trying to roll the OS to Windows 7 but hitting a few hurdles. I am following the instructions from the Alienware support page from Dell, but looks like I don't have a win 8 pro http://en.community.dell.com/owners-...746/t/19536476
My next move is to install a SSD in the mSATA slot and install a fresh Windows 7 there and boot from SSD before reformatting the HDD.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, particularly if you have/had an Alienware laptop before?
Thanks!
Bo
