Can I use recovery CD to boot in win 10 to reinstall my Win 7 image?

Thread needs solution

I have had Acronis True Image Home 2012 in my Dell Dimension 9200. My OS was Win 7 x64 Ultimate.
I have Acronis recovery CD that I created.
I backed up the computer HDD image to an external hard drive.

In the last week I first upgraded my Win 7 to Win 10 and following that did a clean install of the Win 10.
In the process I have removed all Acronis download in my desktop computer.

Can any one tell me if I could move back to Win 7 in this computer by using my Acronis image back up?

Thank you

Greetings,
If you made a full disk image back up of your windows 7 PC and the bootable media starts and runs on your hardware, you can usage it to restore a windows 7 image to that hardware.

If this is not your question, please reply with those details.

Thanks for a helpful reply.
I wondered if my clean install resulting in format of my HDD, will have any detrimental effect when attempts to restore with
Bootable disc created under Win 7 was in my HDD?

I hope I am clear.
