AA> I ordered a T540P Lenovo Thinkpad, with i5 4300M (2.60GHz), 8GB RAM, 1TB

The T540P is a very nice laptop and yes it will run Windows 7 perfectly.

I have the T440P... the only difference between mine and yours is the numeric 
keypad on the 540P. Trust me, both models are built "to last".

I strongly suggest installing Windows 7 but take a snapshot image *before*
installing any drivers. I believe Lenovo's website has some conflicting driver
listings and if I remember correctly it was the power-management stuff that
failed the first time and another driver was needed. Once you have the
correct drivers and Lenovo utilities installed, take another snapshot image or
at least when you are satisfied... (not "if", "when") 8-)
