I thought win 7 wasn’t being supported and at some point soon becomes unusable.

If it’s preferable, can you do it from a new computer that comes with win 10? If so, how do you do it?

No, if you get Windows 10 as a fresh install on a new machine, there’s no free way to go to Windows 7 from there.

The “downgrade” only works if you had Windows 7 to start off with, then took the “Upgrade to 10 for Free” option. Even then it could be tough; I don’t say that from specific experience (I never went back) but with past tech experiences.

If you get Windows 10 as a fresh install on a new machine maybe these problems aren’t there, I don’t know. I know I’ve got two printers connected to my computer and they’re working fine so far.
