b119wn sleekbook 15 HP: want to go to the stock windows 8 by downgrading windows 10.

I had windows 8 at first, after the upgrade to 8.1, I started to update windows 10. I did the upgrade. I didn't like windows 10, so I wanted to go back to windows 8.
I was given two options

(a) reset

(b) return to 8.1 windows

I chose option a and the process completed. then I realize I have the same windows 10 with no option to go back to windows 8.
now, what are your suggestions?

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about your problem.

The question here is, when you have decided you want to go back to Windows 8.1, should have selected the option "Go Back to Windows 8.1" (as the name suggests). Because you selected "Reset", you preformed a clean install of Windows 10.

When you perform an upgrade of Windows 10, operating system maintains a 'backup' of your previous operating system for 28 days, so you can restore it.

When you perform a clean installation, your HARD drive is formatted and all data are lost, including the backup of your previous operating system.

Your only option now is to use the Media Recovery for Windows 8.1. If you have it, just use it. If you do not, you can buy it at HP. There is no other way to get back to Windows 8. 1

  • I want to automatically restore the tabs, windows and when I reopen it firefox

    Previously, when I left firefox all tabs and windows would open next time in re-opening firefox - no more than 31.0

    How can I set current so it would be my fault?

    You can check the startup parameter:

    • Firefox > Preferences > General > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

    Make sure you close the Firefox application windows that you want to restore are still open.

  • How to select the photos I want to import in the import Windows 7 Wizard, and how to change their name to a group of the name custom when importing?

    Has features missing from Windows XP in Windows 7?

    I'm doing a simple import of photos using the option 'Import pictures and videos using Windows' native Autoplay.

    In Windows XP, I could choose what images to import and give them all the basic name custom during the import process, with each photo added later with a "001", "002" etc using the scanner and Camera Wizard.  It is very convenient because it could have been hundreds of photos on some of my cards from a long period of shots, I could run the tool more than once for different groups of photos that I would choose Import, and the pictures would be get named sequentially and stored in their files you want immediately.  I imported thousands of photos in this way.

    This new tool for Windows 7 allows me to add tags to all of the photos on the cards and devices and name photos after their date, or on the label, or other combinations of that... but why doesn't this new tool in Windows 7 suppose I want to import every single photo on the card device / I just connect and more that I want them all to have the same tag assigned to them?  It's stupid and useless - there, makes only has pictures of a theme on their card at any time that they connect to import their photos and always wants to import everything each time?

    To illustrate this point, let's look at my current situation.  I'm just on vacation in Europe and took pictures to more than one place, I visited, of course and now I would like to mark photos with the location of the names individually... or even more, I would like to actually name photos when importing with the name of the place in the picture.  Scanner and digital camera Assistant & would do that, no problem - you just had to run the tool once for each different group name, then select the appropriate images to import with the same group name.  It has been easy.  This type of naming is far superior to the addition of tags to images named simple-list or date-wise because you can tell what the image file in your library that you want to open just by going to (or get) the group name.  Want to see pictures of St. Peter's Basilica?  If you named the photos with that (added with 001, 002 etc), then simply browse to that name in your folder of photos «The Italy, holiday 2010»  Without trying to find photos Tags into the sea by the name of "IMG20100324005" - soup and no program Photo Gallery Windows Live Photos or necessary Picasa.

    This new program in Windows 7 for the import of images does not appear to be able to handle the very handy feature of its predecessor Windows XP.  It's very frustrating to have opted for the version of Windows newer and supposed to be 'better' but find several programs that have been very useful for XP have valuable features removed or are no longer present at all (like how Windows 7 is no longer a Clipboard Viewer - that has great idea that is?).

    So is it possible to recover the image import feature I apparently lost by 'redevelopment' of Windows Windows 7?  I could of course go and buy an image import and edition program (Smart Photo Import very nice for the price, a quick search I just do), but as this feature was native in Windows XP it is still stupid to have to buy a 3rd party simply program now because Microsoft does not understand the idea of keeping popular features in their software and seems rather "he dumb down.

    Any help to select the pictures I want to import and naming them when importing with a custom group name using the import wizard would be greatly appreciated... + 10 GB of photos and videos of this trip is sitting & waiting for a solution!

  • Want to access another computer on Windows 7 using Remote Desktop connection

    Dear member of the community,

    I have 2 desktops, one with 10 windows and more with windows 7. Now I want remote access to the computer windows 10 windows 7 without logging on the computer windows 10. Kindly, guide me for the same thing.

    Hello Alice,.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    The computers are connected to a domain network?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    I also appreciate that fact that you want to access 10 Windows in Windows 7 remotely.

    With Remote Desktop connection, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that is connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of the programs, files, and network resources from your computer on your computer at home, and it's just that you are sitting in front of your computer at work.

    To connect to a remote computer that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled and you must have access to the network to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. To obtain permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to search the name of the computer you are connecting to and to make sure that Remote Desktop connections are allowed through the firewall.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • Sometimes I want to just close ONLY a window, but Firefox closes all THE TABS, and I don't want to!

    Sometimes, I open multiple windows, especially from my box from Comcast. When I'm through with this window, I will conclude, but leave others more open. FIrefox won't do this anymore when I close the 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is to CLOSE all THE TABS. I DON'T want TO CLOSE all of them, I want to just close the window I close!. This is very annoying, because I have to re - login to all, because FIrefox is 'CLOSE all THE TABS', and everything I want to do to close a window... I'm about to chuck this browser... I tried to find an answer to this in the tools, but was unable to do so. Please help me with this

    Make sure that you do not click the X close in the title bar like that closes the active window with all the tabs.

    If you have the tab bar visible then click the X close this tab or mid, tab, or use the shortcut Ctrl + W key to close the tab.

    If the resulting tab bar hidden then see:

    If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.

  • I don't have the money to buy a new computer and would not be vulnerable by using your latest version of Firefox. I want to stay with the previous version.

    I saw a previous question to a windows user, but it seemed that he was very long (speaking of the 3.x.x editions), and all links on this thread seemed to have only 3 updates. I just want to stay with the version of Firefox before this last update (30/10/12) who say 16.0.2 work well with my older Mac OSX. Can you provide me with a link to reinstall and forgive my ignorance, but let me know exactly what I have to do to avoid losing preferences and bookmarks and others? Thank you very much.

    All versions of Firefox 16 still work with your operating system OS X 10.5, but this is the last version that works.

    Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.
