Download this ISO and burn your own Windows 10 installation DVD.

To go back to Windows 7, you have approximately one month to do so:

If you’ve upgraded a PC to Windows 10 — not performed a clean install, but an upgrade — you’ll have an easy 
option that lets you revert to the last version of Windows. To access this, open the Start menu and select Settings. Click the 
“Update & security” icon and select “Recovery.”

You should see a “Go back to Windows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1” option. 
Click the Get started button to get rid of your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows 
install. Microsoft will ask you why you want to go back.

If it’s been over a month — or if you’ve run the Disk cleanup tool and removed the “Previous Windows 
installations” files or deleted the C:\Windows.old folder by hand — you’ll no longer see this option. 
Windows 10 appears to automatically remove the old Windows installation files after a month to free up space.
