How do I revert back to an earlier Windows version

Hi, if you bought a retail license and upgraded to '10 in the last 30 days, you should be able to restore the previous version from within Windows.

If more than 30 days, you will need to either
a. Clean install the previous edition (assuming you have a pertinent license)
or- assuming you are in the strongly recommended habit of using disk imaging and have kept relevant disk images
b. Restore your system using those disk images.

Naturally, if you now have a newish PC and wished to, say, reinstall Windows 7, you might not find all the necessary drivers are available.

Other than that, sorry your experience has been poor.. after a bit of a learning curve, mine's been fine. I avoid the universal apps and the Win 10 start menu, and rarely use Cortana.

What OS did you originally upgrade from?

Originally I was running Windows 7 Professional.....it was preloaded on the computer when I purchased it so I do not have a disk.

Windows 7 install media could be hard to find. Other here might have a source but I don't know of one. Also, you need the key from the COA sticker to activate. As mentioned above, If it has been less than 30 days since you upgraded from 7 to 10, you can do a rollback, other wise its a clean install. Or do a factory recovery, if the recovery partition is still there, and the key to activate it on boot still works.

I can still get a Windows 7 ISO from MSDN. If you want me to grab one for you, because you must supply a valid key to use it anyway, I can't see how that would violate the MS license. We'll have to figure out a way to make it available to you (Dropbox, perhaps?) because it runs from 2.1 to 2.4 GB in size.
HTH,

PS: I just checked and I have the US-en version with SP1 in both x86 and x64 versions on my hard disk already.

You can get Windows 7 and later ISOs HERE. Make sure you get the same version you had before and the key on your CoA sticker should work, but personally I would image the system first in case you run into issues.

Just keep in mind, the tool in the link Fixer posted, is not an official Microsoft Tool. Not as far as I know anyway. That being said, I have no idea where it actually gets the ISO's from? They may very well be safe, but who really knows for sure? Just so you know.
