I've downgraded 27 machines at this point, mostly for older people who didn't like the interface. Out of the 27 I have had 1 go horribly wrong, ended up doing a fresh install of the original OS. All the others were just fine, no data lost, no problems, took about 20-30 minutes each.

I did. You basically lose all software you installed to your computer. Mostly only noticed this with games. Regular files seem to just stay.

I went to Windows 7 using my downgrade rights, but Bluetooth had this terrible glitch that it would make this buzzing noise like when you plug headphones into a public computer. My battery life was also worse. I decided to go back to Windows 10 after that. The Bluetooth support on Windows 7 is really subpar, but Windows 8 would work fine for those issues.
