Possible? Downgrade a windows 10 to make it a windows 7

Looking for a windows 7 (pro) laptop. Best Buy guy said that I could always select a Windows 10 laptop and have them downgrade it to a windows 7 pro.

I have heard that it's possible to make a Windows 10 LOOK, FEEL and SEEM like a windows 7 but that the system is still a Windows 10 and will not let me turn off the updates and other things that suck up data in the background.

Should I just stick to buying a laptop that came out of the box as a Windows 7 or... is it really possible to downgrade a windows 10 laptop to make it like it was born as a windows 7 ??

2nd question. If you had a choice between a HP, Lenovo and an Acer... which one would you go for?

    When is the end-of-life for Windows 7 - I thought it wasn't that too far away... I know we updated WIN7 and WIN8.1 to WIN10 when they came on-line...

    I run my WIN10 in WIN7 mode and it really screens

    Whats the beef...
