Yes, you can format your Windows 10 and install Windows 7.

Actually, there are two options for you.

1. If you upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. You can downgrade to windows 7.

2. If you installed Windows via ISO, you will need a Windows 7 bootable CD or pen drive to return to the previous installation. After the computer restarts, you should boot from the CD and follow the on-screen instructions.

• You should first back up your data from your Windows 10 computer.
• Go to the bios settings of your PC. Disable secure boot and turn on legacy boot.
• Choose the appropriate language and things.
• After that, a screen asking whether you want an online upgrade or a custom installation will appear.
• Choose custom, then pick disk volume C. (windows 10 installed volume)
• Format it.
• The hard drive's copy of Windows 10 is now deleted.
• Then choose the same drive, then put Windows 7 on that disk.
