How do I install windows 7 on a computer that is running windows 10?

Bruh, how many hoops do you want to jump through?

Installing Windows 7 on a computer designed for Windows 10 can be a pain in the ass. First, if your laptop manufacturer does not have Windows 7 chipset drivers for your laptop, then installing Windows 7 will cause your USB slots to be unusable.

Even if your laptop manufacturer does have Windows 7 drivers for your laptop, then you still might to jump through more hoops. For example, if Windows 7 does not have LAN or Wifi drivers for your laptop by default, then you will have to go old school with CD/DVD disks for installing drivers. Why? Because your USB slots will not work until you install the chipset drivers.

Also, if your laptop has Kaby Lake or Ryzen, then Windows 7 will not receive any updates. Douchebag move by Microsoft, yes, but there isn't much you can do about that.

Overall, it is a pain in the ass. You are better off just pirating Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB, which is bare bones Windows 10 if you really like Windows 7. (not condoning anything...but just saying).
