Yes, but Windows 7 is no longer supported. You would be on your own. It is much better to use Windows 10 now,  What is it running now ?

 

Its specs

It came with Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hi, @Carlos20201 

 

You will not be able to use your W8.1 product key to activate an installation of W7.

 

You will need to have a W7 product key.
