Can the HP Envy desktop be downgraded to Windows 7? null

I suppose it could be but I don't know why you would want to do that. This computer is lightening fast as is. It took me a while to appreciate Windows 10, but now that I'm used to it, I rather like it and think it is as simple to use as Windows 7 was with several advantages.

Technically yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Windows 7 support ended entirely after the 6th generation of Intel CPU's. They no longer produce drivers for the chipset or any related devices, which would limit you to using the generic drivers which were mostly intended as fail safes. You'd be severely impairing the overall performance of the machine. Windows 7 is too old at this point to expect modern hardware to accommodate it.
