After coming back to Windows 7 after only 10 proved to be unsatisfactory now, Microsoft is trying to drive me to 10

Earlier this week I finally gave in the constant nagging and installed Windows 10 to replace my copy of Windows 7.  After a few days, I managed to get out me of my computer by setting up a password that I thought was for access to MSM for Windows' new, supposedly better, helps, but has actually been applied to my account although lock, there was no indication of what I saw at the time.  I didn't understand what happened so that the next time I tried to boot my system...

After contacting the Microsoft support line using my daughter-in-law who is a professional, a procedure long and involved, we could change my password so I could get back in my system where I followed immediately the indications to restore 7 and I have no intention to return to 10 anytime soon. However, there are a few problems now with 7 I think to have been deliberately caused to force me to go back.

Bottom left of my screen, it says:

Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine

from time to time, there are pop ups that offers you to validate my OS, say "Windows is not genuine" or "You may have been victim of software piracy" but it seems that the only way to correct the problem that is again to install 10.  Also, I can't seem to keep my wallpaper because that whenever they appear in the background to the dark past.

What can I do to exorcise the ghost of Windows past 10?

Thank you...

    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.

    Hello

    first go to your c drive and find the folder called windows, old.

    In this folder, you can find all your documents, photo ect. who are on your windows operating system 7.

    I suggest to first make a backup of the files you want to keep on an external drive or a drive of Pentecost copy paste, to be sure of not lost.

    to return to your old windows 7:

    go to settings - updated and security - recovery - get back into windows 7

  • Alienware X 51 R3 - 10 Windows left out of the game after only a few hours back in the Office

    I noticed that, while playing the Steam on Windows 10 games, it will be alt + tab out of the game and back in the office. I then click on the game in the taskbar to get back in. It's quite annoying, as it happens at the most inopportune time.

    It produces about 3 hours or more. I have not installed anything new outside Chrome.

    Any ideas on what the service is the cause?

    It turns out it was Dell SupportAssist.

    I disabled this in services, but apparently it is still ongoing.

    I turned off the notification of controls for everything in SupportAssist and that fixed the problem with her kicking back the Windows desktop.

  • Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

    Hey all,.

    I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

    My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

    Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

    I pressed the button for windows accecpt 10, but read all about it very carefully before installing and it asked to save all of my files that I made, microsoft and hp recommemed I installed windows 10 but you have 30 days to change your mind, windows 8 has been preinstalled and he warned an installation of usb media and says all the websites are supported so u take all this in any good faith, I'm not a super user just a plain person who wants to use his computer and when I want to and do not have all these hassle to write things up and find a hell of a lot of other people with eactly, same problem, microsoft installed a 4 hour remote to find if it was my fault or the fault of the laptop and found nothing and told me it was a problem with 10 windows and they said as a lot of others having the same problem where they cannot restore when they want too, if microsoft had said that there are a lot of sites supporting windows 10 then don't you think [IE me] would wait b4 I installed windows 10 also microsoft has in an email said to try to get these sites to upgrade why the fak must do this, like I said, I don't want all this crap I want to just turn on the laptop and use bloody like most people and not microsoft and hp did not force me but they recemended by e-mail and through my warranty upgrade so that was what I did the second , the only one the way back he semms is hp have my original numbers of windows software 8 not as I regis this sytem with hp, then u would have thought to email me windows 25 digits 8 none for me to install software, microsoft must make it clear that this windows 10 is not supported on the sites of somes and hounor cancellation of 30 days , and what is the bet that they contact me after 30 days and say oh u can't go back, but if you have done this or spoke to them u might have rollback, and this second would make it even more of a pain fffffff.

    I have just re installed Windows XP. Windows installed after three attempts. When I turn on the computer there are three choices of Windows XP. Only the first works how to remove the other two?

    I have a hard drive. At least two partitions. C: 74.7 GB with 63.3 freespace
    D: 74.2 GB with 70.6 freespace
    These are my original specifications of the hard drive: 160 GB (7200 RPM) SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE WI
    So I suspect there are at least one or more partitions hidden leaving 11.1 GB for hidden partitions!
    Windows is present on both drives C: & D:. In the directory windows on C:, the oldest entry is 19.12.12, 21.43 last 21.12.12, 22.50
    The first entry in the directory windows on D: is 19.12.12, 18.42 the last 21.12.12, 22.40
    I hope that makes sense to someone, any help gratefully received!

    As long as you have verified you dΘmarrez done on the c: / partition, Yes, you can reformat the drive D: / partition using Windows 'disk management '.

  • problem with validation after downgrading to windows 10 back to windows 7.

    My windows 7 has been posted before I did the update. What should I do now? Before, I decided to go back to windows 7, I was in the process (at the suggestion of Microsoft) update my windows 10 driver.  I stopped when I saw that they were demanding money.  It was one of these "30 days offers free trial."  After that I spent in windows 7 I checked my download folder and found 2 configuration files for windows 10 drivers.  I deleted those. Shortly after that I have got a saying my Windows 7 must be validated.  I did and it showed the my windows 7 is not legitimate... did that three times and he still come as my windows 7 could not be validated.  Now I can't make any updates.
