First, could you post your system specs, please watch video created by Brian on how to do that:
OK, just so you are aware, you can shrink your 200gb ssd and create a second partition for Windows 7, but since you said you need plenty of storage, you should go a head with your original plan and buy a new hard drive. Secondly, it recommended to have windows 7 installed first and then dual boot windows 10, but it is possible, you will have to change some settings in the bios first, so both windows 7 and 10 boot.
Before we can do anything, we need to make sure your system is compatible with windows 7 and we also need to make sure there are drivers on the manufacturer website, so please post your full system specs using brian tutorial.
Thanks for your reply and apologies for taking a while to get back to you, please see the file you asked for attached.
Best wishes,
Thank you juno for the info file you gave us, but you could you also post your full system specs using speecy, please follow the brian's tutorial below: https://briteccomputers.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=665
That file you attached gave me some good info about your system, but I just need a little more the we discuss about dual booting your system.
Kind Regards

Thank you juno, Your computer is compatible with Windows 7. First download your motherboard and graphics driver and save it to a external device i.e USB, External Hard drive)
For the motherboard please download all the latest ones on the website. Please try to download them from Europe, if there is a problem downloading it from Europe, download them from a different server.

I tried to download all 25? motherboard drivers and chrome blocked quite a few of them because it thinks they are malicious. for example:
"mb_driver_vga_intel_64_9series.zip is malicious and Chrome has blocked it."
am I doing the right thing?
I wonder if doing the dual boot is difficult and/or dangerous perhaps I should just have a windows 10 system?

you want to dual boot on the SSD? or buy a next hard drive to dual boot with ?
now I would recommend you buy a next hard drive to install the dual boot on
It can be easy but it all depends on the situation. Juno it is up to you, like Compton said we need to know your plan on how you would like to do it, we will be happy to help you out if you still want to do it
