    Can I install Win 7 on a notebook with original Win 10 and SSD?


    Assume I buy a notebook with pre-installed Win 10 on a SSD.

    I prefer to use Win 7 and have a couple of Win 7 licenses available.
    Can I install Win 7 on this notebook (provided I found all necessary drivers)?

    In other words is the driver environment model of Win 10 the same as in Win 7?

    Is installation on SSD a problem for Win 7?

    You can do that if there are drivers no problem I would take a disk image first so you can role back if needed

    Not in the least. SSDs are much preferable if at all possible.

    Windows 7 installation on machines with Intel "Skylake" processors can be frustrating, but it's doable.
