Default Convert laptop to Windows 7

I have a Dell Latitude 7350 touch screen laptop with Windows 10. I
really hate Windows 10. Can it be converted to Windows 7? Will I be
able to get the touch screen working? I've tried to make it look like
Windows 7, but there are many things that just don't work well. Am I
nuts to do something like this? I appreciate any comments.


Go to Dell's web site and lookup your model or service tag. Then check
what drivers they provide. If Windows isn't listed, you're on your own
regarding compatibility of drivers. Laptops and netbooks are usually
restricted to a limited number of OS versions that the manufacturer will
support, and sometimes they only support one OS version.

While I can look on the model number you gave, using the service tag to
identify your laptop is more accurate. When I searched dell.com's
support pages on just 7350, the earliest version of Windows that they
list as what they support is Windows 8.1 x64. Windows 7 was not listed.
The only other OS version listed was Windows 10 x64. Dell only supports
those 2 OS versions for the drivers they supply for the 7350 model.

You could save an image backup of all partitions on the disk(s) in your
laptop and then test if you can get Windows 7 working on that laptop.
If the test fails, you can restore from the image backup(s). Give
yourself an escape route before the test.
