• Satellite L750 - Windows 10 - can I roll back to Windows 7?

  I upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 7, but I lost the wireless driver and cannot download it from anywhere (unless you know better). Also, I lost Internet Explorer. When I tried to download the system I have an updated copy even though God knows where he is.

  My question is - can I roll back to Windows 7, which I was pretty happy?

  As much as I know L750 is not supported for Win10 so I think that the best option for you is to go back to Win7.
  After several problems with Win10, I did the same thing and I am happy now using original Win7.

• Can't come back in windows 7 since Ubuntu

  I started Ubuntu for fun. But now I can't get rid of it! I have a file .iso windows 7 how use it on Ubuntu 12.04 to return to Windows?
  I really need to get back to windows soon!
  I tried to use the following text:

  @ EasyBCD
  @Unetbootin-linux
  @Even simply face (or) my image .iso to a DVD to burn!

  BUT, through hard work.

  PLEASE HELP ME!

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Answers.

  The last thing that you need to be slightly modified - burn ISO image means use a suitable burner to burn the file on a DVD, not just copy or place the ISO image to a DVD. The contents of the ISO image must be visible when you insert the DVD burned; should not be in the form of image IS in the DVD.

  If you do the above method, you can use the initialization of Windows installation DVD and install windows. If you have any questions answered here.

  See you soon.

  There is no such thing as a downgrade to Windows XP. You had to make a
  new installation of Windows XP. Exactly how did you do?

  You do not have to be equipped with Windows 7 to install Microsoft Office

• Went to 10 Windows, can't get back to Windows 7

  I downloaded Windows 10 on my Dell Optiplex GX520 Windows 7 computer and I didn't like Windows 10 so I tried to go back to Windows 7 the next day.  Something went wrong and now my computer will not boot at all. I think I need a full system reinstall.  Microsoft will pay for this?  Or Microsoft will send me a disc re-setup simple-to-use with all the necessary drivers?

  Microsoft will not pay to reinstall the system, nor the resettlement of discs with all the necessary drivers.

• How can I go back to Windows XP from Windows 7

  Our new computer came loaded with Windows 7.  After several months, I still do not like it and want to go back to Windows XP.  Is it a simple fix or do I have to do a full reformat?

  If your new computer comes with Windows 7, you would be required to get a copy of XP and do a clean install. However, your computer manufacturer has perhaps not all drivers for XP.

  You should check with the manufacturer.

• can't get back into windows after a system restore

  I ran a system restore on my desktop running windows vista edition Home premium 64-bit. half way through my screan saver restoration opened and collapsed the restoration ended. After a few hours I shut down the computer. now when I start my pc it runs all preliminary functions and allows me to choose to either start windows failure, safe with fast back or normal mode. If I choose the mode safe mode (with or without back) through a loading phase where it shows everybody that it loads, it stops on a cdc.dsk file, and then processes to a black screan. If I choose load windows normally it goes to a black screan. the windows vista I have is one that came with the pc, so I don't have the disks to run. is it possible to fix this or did I just turn a pc $1500 in a very expensive papper weight?

   

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How can I go back to Windows 7?

  Ok. So I hurried and bought Windows 8. For me, nothing works anymore. I have no sound, and it's usually a pain. I can't print or scan with my new Canon printer. I have a Toshiba Satellite 750D, AMD A8.  I can't find a driver or any assistance to get the things that don't work - working again. I'm on it. I have a disc, so I intend to give it a few months and try again later.

  At present - please help! -I want to know how I can roll to Windows 7 have been all works. I just installed windows 8 a couple of weeks.

  The only way back is to do a clean install, you will need a full commercial win 7 and its key

  May be better to try to solve these issues in my humble OPINION

  Most often when a device does not work, it's because the driver has been corrupted.

  Try reinstalling your.

• Windows 8 How can I go back to Windows 7

  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8. I must say that using windows 8 is the big challenge for me and it's the worst experience since I started using windows in 1995. He is a merciless gesture (from win7 for win8) and a complication very. Please tell me if and how I can go back to win7 by uninstalling win8. I have to buy a new windows 7 or what.

  Yes, if you go to the store and buy Windows 7, you can put the CD in your computer and install it.

  But don't forget to ask the company who built your laptop first - hardware may not work with Windows 7 in all.

  If you could tell us more about what is difficult, we can try to help too.  Remember that Windows 8 still has all of the Windows 7 Desktop inside.  Nothing has changed, so you can go to the desktop and then use your computer normally without change.
