Do I have Windows 7 downgrade rights on my Notebook?

Hi:

Only PC's that come with W10 Pro have downgrade rights to W7 Pro, and the downgrade is normally done at the factory.

No, your machine has Windows 10 Home 64 pre-installed. Only Windows 10 Pro version has

Do I have downgrade rights to W7 Home?

Or am I stuck with W10?

If you want to install W7, you will have to buy a license and product key for W7.

There were never downgrade rights from a Windows home version to another windows home version.

It has always been Pro to Pro.

How much does it cost?

I have no idea.

You can't buy W7 from Microsoft anymore.

You would have to try and find a copy on Amazon or eBay.

Just make sure you get the software new with the product key sealed in the box.
