    Hi There,

     Glad you asked this question before installing the windows 7.

     ·         Hope you computer is still under warranty with the manufacture kindly do check with them degrading the software will void your computer warranty or not?

    ·         Since your computer was shipped with windows you may not have the windows 7 drivers available in manufacture site

    ·         As a technician I would suggest you not to degrade the OS in the new machine

     At last answer to your question “Yes” you can install windows 7 for this machine and download the drivers from 3rd party websites.

     Regards,

    TechSaavy

    Yes, a Win7 upgrade is possible but the current Win10 HDD partition would have to be converted from GPT to MBR and as noted some device drivers such as for wifi may not work properly. A better choice might be to swap the existing HDD unchanged with a new HDD (very inexpensive nowadays) and install Win7 on the new drive. This way, if you aren't satisfied with the Win7 installation, you can easily switch back to the original Win10 HDD. Jack E/NJ
