I would recommend NOT trying it the way you outlined. If you want to try the Windows 7 drivers on your Windows 10 installation, download the Win7 driver installers from your PC manufacturer’s website and install them in Windows 10 the same way you would with Windows 7. There is no guarantee they will work.

Instead, the graphics drivers for a broad range of devices are provisioned on WU, which allows hardware vendors to update drivers without requiring a change to the operating system image. Existing drivers are not migrated to Windows 10 during an OS upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
One of the next things we asked ourselves was; can Windows 7 programs be used on Windows 10?
2 Answers Of course, most of the windows 7 programs can also be used in windows 10. You can transfer programs from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when you upgrade to Windows 10. Nearly all of the programs compatible with Windows 7 should work with Windows 10 just fine, in my opinion.
Can I install Windows Vista drivers on Windows 10?
Anything from Vista up to Windows 8.1 should work in Windows 10 (exceptions are very rare), as long as they are of the same architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). Some drivers will install as normal.
Yes you can install the drivers in compatibility mode, it will not affect your computer. But I suggest you to find the windows 10 drivers whether it is available in manufactures website if not then you can install in compatibility mode. Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
What is the best order to download drivers?
Download drivers with the following order: Windows 10 -> Windows 8 -> Windows 7 -> Vista -> XP (only for 32-bit and if no other version is available). Spapakons, thank you for replying.
