Can I get my Windows 7 I don't like Windows 8

Original title: Windows

Is there a simple way to restore windows 7 on my computer? Windows 8 was installed accidentally want to return to my windows 7. Don't like windows 8.

Thank you

Hi Doris,.

Thank you for your comments about Windows 8. I'll be happy to answer your query.

Go to the previous version of Windows would be a downgrade and to do this, you need to reinstall Windows 7 completely after saving your files/data. It would be a clean install as its downgrade.

Another option is to update Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows and then upgrade to Windows 10 free before July 29, 2016.

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

    I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

    Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network).  It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.

    Help.

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
    should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.
    then recreate the account.

    Claire-

    The PC comes with Windows 7 the plant?  If so there should be a COA sticker on the outside, or under the battery with a product key used to activate.  Also on the label is printed the licensed version.  Now look at control panel > system to confirm page which is the version that has been installed.  If so, scroll down to the activation link to "Change product key" and insert the key to the sticker.

    It is easy to mistake the 25 digit key characters.  What I do is take a picture of the phone and huge blow up, so check each character before submitting the key.

    If Windows 10 had activated, you can also get a facility much better to do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement will be paid to questions of lower upgrade installation, which should reactivate with the permanent right granted once did you the upgrade.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • I can't get my Windows 7 Home Premium to register...

    Dear Microsoft,

    I can't get my Windows 7 to activate. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. It's a full license (in the ' green box'), not an OEM license. Recently, I rebuilt my PC with new hardware and used this window for it. I also have a Windows 7 OEM license tied to my old hardware that is always used with this material. Here are the specs if they are needed:
    Old material (with a Windows OEM tied to it):

    1055 t of AMD 6-core Phenom 2
    ASUS m4A87td/usb3 motherboard
    3 x 2 GB (or 6 gb) OCZ RAM

    New hardware (with retail Windows ready to use with it, but records do not):
    Processor Intel i3 3220 Dual core 3.3 GHZ Ivybridge
    MSI Motherboard Z77 - G45
    Kingston Hyperx 2 x 4 (or 8 GB) of RAM

    Windows says that it will automatically activate in 2 days. I guess when he tries, it won't work and I will ask you to purchase a new license and I will lose a lot of my windows features, or something in that sense. I need this PC for work and I can't really afford to lose its functionality. I hope I can get this resolved so I did not worry about more...

    Thanks in advance from Microsoft (or other),
