    Is it possible to replace Windows 10 with Windows 7 via OEM disc?


    I have a compact desktop computer that came with Windows 10 installed. I would like to know if it is possible to install Windows 7 or Windows XP onto the computer using an OEM disc. I have many games that do not run on Windows 10 so I am just trying to find a way to replace the OS with one that my games can run on.

    :)

    I keep forgetting how it works.

    Can i install Windows 7 using the key for that computer with a normal oem disc or do i need the original restoration media?

    my windows 10 oem didn't come with a product key

    Dude, go to Newegg right now and read the questions and answers tab on Windows 10 OEM. The OEM copies that are listed there DO in fact, come on an optical disc. The flash drive ONLY comes on Retail copies.

    windows 7 OEM reinstallation

    Yes, absolutely. Another critical reason to get the official disc, if possible.
