    Yes you can try this for rollback to windows 7.

    After rollback you need to perform the steps for successful windows 10 upgrading...

    You can make clean install your windows 10 for smooth run..

    Windows Vista rollback option no longer available after less than a week?

    You don't get a "rollback" option when you do a clean install of Windows 10 so it wasn't "removed without your consent."

    You can format the HDD & do a clean install of Windows Vista but you cannot "rollback" to Windows Vista after doing a clean install of Windows 10.

    If you'd upgraded a Windows 7 or a Windows 8.1 computer to Windows 10, you'd be able to "rollback" to the previous Windows version within 30 days of upgrading (if luck was on your side).

    Downgrading to your older OS requires that you still have your Windows.old folder at C:\Windows.old. If you typically delete that after upgrading, or you’ve done a post-upgrade clean install of Windows 10, you’re out of luck.
