Tech Help! Downgrading Windows 10 on Factory Install

I bought a new computer for the office and it came with Windows 10 factory installed. My entire office uses either Windows 7 or Mac OS without any problems. However, the new computer can't see other devices on the network. I researched it, and it appears to be a bug with Windows 10. I want to format the HD and do a fresh install of Windows 7, but I don't have any available activation keys for Windows 7. Will the Windows 10 activation key work for Windows 7? I remember with older versions of Windows, you could install on several computers with the same key, is that still possible?

I also have no experience with Windows 10. Will a downgrade to Windows 7 fuck up anything as far as drivers, etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
