Reverting back to Windows 7 (or 8/8.1) after 30 Days
I've read conflicting accounts as to whether it's possible or not to revert back to the original OS after 30 days.
When I upgraded, I wasn't aware that there was any time limit on when you could do this - Microsoft kept that quiet if that is the case.
I have my main OS, currently Windows 10, on SSD, Windows 10 build 10240 on HD & Windows 7 Pro on HD.
The SSD build was initially an upgrade from Windows 7 Pro, then a clean install. Apart from a complete failure to boot after a couple of days requiring a restore from a Macrium image, it appears to work fine most of the time but there are instances when it is really slow, particularly when doing multiple downloads across the internet. By slow, I mean that there is a considerable time lag when typing text & it appearing on the screen, selecting a folder with the mouse, creating a sub-folder & naming it takes a long time - it simply feels like using an old 286 processor!
The Windows 10 build 10240 will eventually be deleted & hasn't knowingly suffered from slow performance.
The Windows 7 Pro on HD I would still like to keep as a backup which was used to restore the Macrium image on the SSD when it disastrously failed.
With 2 days remaining before my 30 days are up, do I play safe & revert back to Windows 7 Pro on SSD.
Or will I be able to restore the Macrium image of Windows 7 Pro that I took on SSD before the upgrade after the 30 days
