I Need Assistance Reverting to Windows 7 from Windows 10 "Upgrade"
I have a Lenovo B560 laptop on loan to me from my job. It was lent to me as a Windows 7 (pre-installed) machine and has the product key on the bottom. A well-meaning member of my household “upgraded” the computer to Windows 10 via the “Get Windows 10” upgrade offer that appeared in the lower right notification area, without my knowledge. I now need to roll back to Windows 7, but am faced with a couple of problems:
1. When Windows 7 was running on the computer, I would log in as “administrator”, no password, no problem . Now when the Windows 10 version boots, it shows me a user called “Volunteer” (no one knows anything about this user) and requires a password (also unknown), but nothing about “Administrator”. So I can’t get past the login screen.
2. I attempted to download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO files) from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...nload/windows7, in order to reinstall Windows 7, but the site would not validate the product key that is on the bottom of the computer, so I was unable to download Windows 7 from Microsoft. No reason given; it just wouldn’t validate.
How can I get this computer back to running on Windows 7? Thanks.
