Downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 7?
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3558 laptop. Is there any way that I can downgrade Windows 10 to Windows 7? I can get an install disk, but I'm not sure if the drivers for this will support it. Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to our community.
You can surely go ahead and download windows 7 on your system. We did check the support site and found that there are compatible drivers for Windows 7 64 bit based on the system model. However, to confirm please provide us with the service tag, registered owner’s name and your email address via private message for us to check for more details.

It likely came with Windows 10 Home therefore your UEFI BIOS won't have a System License Internal Certificate and Windows 7 won't activate using Downgrade Rights. You will need a new license.

Hello,
I have recently purchased my Dell Inspiron 5575 preloaded with Windows 10 and I would like to downgrade the OS to Windows 7. I have attempted several methods of downgrading the OS all unsuccessfully. How can I preform the downgrade?

You can't. Microsoft won't let you.

Dear Nick,
It is possible, First you got to buy Windows 7 cd, then boot it via Bios,
The only issue am trying figure, the driver support, The Wifi and the essentials are not compatible with the previous version,
Regards,
