Make sure you got all the win vista drivers, other than that yes. Please dont do that, Win7 is rock solid!
2 :
Yes you can but why would you want Vista. Vista is full of problems. It unstable, slow, and full of compatibility issues.
3 :
It depends on how you install windows vista. If done properly yes it can be done but it is hard 75% of the time you will fail so I dont recommend it
4 :
It's possible, but it's a terrible idea. Win 7 is basically what Vista should have been. They're even built on (essentially) the same kernel, so the same drivers/software should work on both in pretty much all cases. Why would you want Vista over 7?
5 :
Why would you want to do that? Vista is a piece of %%%$$$. Windows 7 is a much better operating system. It is less resource hungry and more stable than Vista. I succeeded in not selling systems with Vista on it during it's lifespan - I sold machines with Vista licenses but with a "downgrade" to XP (the downgrade was pre-installed by the various manufacturers (HP, Acer etc).

sure it work properly vista has high permissions then win7 if is necessary u can boot xp also. no problem
7 :
Yes, as long as you own a copy of Windows Vista. If you are going to downgrade from 7, though, Windows XP is a better choice. If your laptop didn't come with a Windows 7 installation disk, make sure you follow your manufacturer's instructions on burning a startup CD to help you reinstall Windows 7 if you want to later. Otherwise, you will have to buy another copy.
