Found the likely cause of not being able to go back to 7
I have tried getting Win 7 back but regardless of efforts and methods used it's a no go because updates will not be found , i think the below explains why .
After reinstalling numerous times and using the SURT tool , resetting all update components and using every other troubleshooter available it's hopeless .
If MS is trying to prevent people from going back to 7 they are doing an excellent job.
Thanks Microsoft
There is nothing wrong with your computers! The problem is a hopelessly inadequate Windows Update service. Likely it is overwhelmed sending millions of 5 gigabyte Win10 files to unwilling Win7 computers, using the same equipment and network that normally services you and I.
From Microsoft’s perspective, the updates you want are an extremely low priority. They do not want you updating Windows 7. They want you replacing it with Windows 10.
I have seen cases where the green bar continued overnight and finally found the updates, then spent many more hours downloading those updates. Stop trying to fix your computer. You are likely to make a mess of it for no benefit.
Trying to fix your computer is pointless, when the problem is your supplier. Sort of like taking a part your car's engine because it does not start, when the problem is the gas tank is empty.
