The title is the question. Can you dualboot Windows 10 installed first and Windows 7 on this model? (HP Pavilion 510-p010)
And, can you install all drivers?
Thanks,
OldBo5.

The most likely answer is -- probably NOT.
First off, the PC comes preinstalled with Win10, so you would have to purchase a license to run Win7 on it, as there are no DOWNGRADE rights for Win10 to Win7 anymore.
Second, HP does not appear to make Win7 drivers for these new PCs. If someone else comes along and points you to a different HP PC that does have Win7 drivers for yours, then you would be OK; otherwise, without HP drivers, some of the hardware is not going to work properly.
