how to go back to windows 7 from windows 10

I upgraded my computer to windows 10 this afternoon and the screen is wonky...the resolution and icons are completely out of whack.  How do I revert to windows 7 or is there another solution?   My computer is only 4 years old...it is a core two duo.  I have backed up my documents and pictures folders.

Agree with Scott Gorcester.
If problem related to your screen or display not work correctly. have you check that your system full fill the minimum requirement to update windows 10. You first check hardware required for windows 10 install here
microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications

If you still want to revert back to windows 7 here is the way
Go to Setting
Update and Security
Recovery
Option to go back Windows 7
So you easily uninstall upgrade windows 10 and revert to windows 7 version. It will be take 40 to 50 minutes to whole process

I have determined that my video card is Radeon X1600 series.  I have no idea how to get the correct drivers and also I am not sure if the windows 10 drivers exist for this video card.  Would upgrading the video card solve this problem?
thanks,

If you have a desktop computer, you could ask a local computer shop for a compatible card or look at the Radeon web site.
Thanks for your help.  Much appreciated.
