We have found a Windows 7 tablet which we can use until we have developed our new solution.
To wrap up this answer: YES it is possible to install Windows 7 on a Windows 8 tablet, but always check wether there is support for the right drivers (in our case there wasn't) and the architecture of your processor. If money isn't an issue you can alway buy a hybrid laptop or one with a removable screen.
This can be configured under Settings, Devices, Typing:
However, you may find it's already switched on. I noticed on a tablet after putting Windows 10 on it that the on-screen keyboard didn't pop up automatically. I had to use the Accessibility icon to get a keyboard when logging on, or I had no way enter my password. But then it seemed to settle down and it started working. You may find the same thing, and it will start working eventually.

You can enable the “standard” keyboard layout for the touch keyboard. This layout provides a better emulation of the hardware keyboard, including four cursor keys, Esc, Tab, Del, Ctrl, Shift, Alt, the Windows key and F1-F12 keys (enabled with the Fn toggle).
To enable this layout:
From the Start screen, open Settings (hidden behind the “hamburger” icon in the tablet mode). Another way to start the Settings app is the “All Settings” action icon in the notification center.
In the Settings app, select Devices → Typing.
Turn on the “Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option” switch.
After enabling the layout you can switch to it using the rightmost icon in the keyboard options menu:
