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.

Hi:

 

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

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.
