Has anyone here successfully downgraded from Windows 11 Home 22H2 on the machine that Win11 was shipped on?

What all made it a successful downgrade?

Did you have to "flash update" the BIOS/UEFI to support the Win7 install?

Did the original Win11 device and chipset drivers work on the Win7 install?

First you would need to take and image so if it goes belly up you can roll back. Second you need to see if the pc has 7 drivers if not your in trouble on missing driver and your screwed. You wouldnt need to flash the bios but you would have to make changes uefi, secure boot tpm, etc and you need to note what you do or win11 wont work.

You are going from latest secure o/s to one out of support and software is being stop from running on 7 like browsers as its deemed not safe. The chances are very high you wont be able to get drivers
