Can I install Windows 7 on this device? null

Sure, why not? If it can handle Windows 10, it certainly can handle Windows 7. I would partition the drive being it is large, do half and half (500 MGs) + (500 MGs). Install Windows 7 on the clean partition, and use a software that can dual boot. When the computer starts, it will give you an option to load in Windows 10 or an "Earlier Version" which would be in your case, Windows 7. Just make sure you know how to do this, and you will need to buy a Windows 7 CD or Key from Microsoft. The days of giving Windows 10 as an upgrade for free are over with, so in that motherboard, it only has a Windows 10 key. You would need to purchase a new Windows 7 key before you install it and activate it. Google - Dual boot and you'll find a lot of information you need to create a partition. Good luck

We recommend you check with Microsoft to confirm that the version of Windows 10 Home is backward compatible to Windows 7 and what version of Windows 7 you would need to downgrade to.

Yes, Windows 7 can be installed on the laptop.
