Can't go back to my ORIGINAL BUY Win8? / My valid win7 downgrade apparently not good idea?
Hi, this is my first post here in the community. Really in a funky spot. I bought this gateway zx4970g (all in one office) in 2012. It came with windows 8, and I immediately had trouble grasping the new UI and all that. Well well, after some time and many restorations system / factory reset / and system refreshes. (due to my lack of account administrator and user experience) I found myself with a deformed, mired malware, windows experience sad and broke. So after a few years was updated absurd to 8.1 and back to OEM and updated rear and down to 8 due to once again, my lack of user accounts and control. (this is my opinion though, im not some that all I had problems with, but I always found myself with work not OS) So, naturally, I did a bootloader usb win 8 'repair' (took me a full day learning even this small small task) and tried a few times fix my broken already PC. Well, that's where I lost it.
I am not here to ask for any sympathy or excuse related nonsense.
So I decided, after LONG consideration and a large NUMBER of family members, peers to downgrade to windows 7. I was told it was much easier to deal with and much faster too. So of course, I will with my own flesh and blood, you know. Well heres where the poop hits the fan. Downgrade I lost one of my keys to orig for win8 (which I thought was impossible based on facts who BOUGHT THE retail PC) I always win8 OEM key, with win7 valid key as the publishing houses or pro. And if in my trys frantic to get my work PC. I 'upgrade' to win 10 tech preview. Well yes another damn error. So now I'm on July 17, 2015. With an overview of the company United Nations activated windows (do not want windows business) "I would be WAY BETTER" with the House... I think. Windows 8 and assistants to upgrade windows 7 tell me that I'm not allowed to go back and win10 will not let me choose the home or pro. And I don't know if I can get even more for free win10 for the first year. Although I myself signed with icon in the lower right to prove.
Please help me understand what I can do if anything about this PC and activation. I want a job can be updated windows operating system which is not part of some edge cheeseball bull initiated *. My orig win8 instal disk disappeared. Fix missing usb, only left with couple discs to install win7. Not really where to start. PS SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT.
And grats on making it through my rants. sincerely, Josh B

How can I change back to the original file icon?
Hello
Accidentally, I changed the icon of MIDI files, and I can't change it back. I tried to use the Folder Options, but it does not work. I tried to change file Associations, still no luck. The icon that I'm looking to take it is the original icon used for MIDI files, which is also the same for the video files, MP4 (not a screenshot). Is this icon in a specific file? I hope I don't have to do anything drastic, such as reinstalling Windows or do a system restore.Thank you for all the answers.~ yosecchi1098Hello

How can I go back or restore to pre Version 5. Google toolbar is not yet supported
Like to go back to the last version of FireFox 4, I guess when the Google toolbar has worked
(1) install the extension "addon compatibility reporter" using the link in my original post.
(2) to open the Addons Manager in Firefox, do one of the following.
- (If you see the menu bar) Tools-> Addons
- (If you don't see the menu bar) FirefoxButton-> Addons
-
The new version is a downgrade.
Click the Firefox button, and then select Add-ons to open the Add-ons Manager. If you have McAfee Site Advisor, it will appear in the Extensions section. If you do not have one, an another add-on can cause the problem. The following link shows how to establish if this is the case and identify what is causing the problem - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Can I reset or erase everything back to the original of the condition of the box?
I'm running an insperon 1545 Dell w / OS; 32-bit Vista SP2 and IE 8 with Analyzer FREE Avast Antivirus and firewall of Defender. is the free Avast AV said, some say that the free trial versions do not work as well as others.
I was wondering if I can put everything back to their original state because I have some annoying problem on my system. All the 20 min or so appears a window without normal borders, there is no tab at the top of the window with the Red Cross to close the window if alt F4 closes the window, it always reappears later. The window shows "(i) this program can't display this webpage". I was hoping that it could fix this glitch.
I recommend the version of Avast FREE to my customers:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Avast anti-virus is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible (32-bit and 64-bit Versions), FREE, auto update and a user of low resources from your computer.
And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.
Conflicts, crash and freezing may occur if you have more than 1 (one).
And for an Anti-Malware program.

Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!
Download the free Version from the link above.
Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.

After reviewing the different bridge designs and colors, I decided I want the original bridge by default return, others are too distracting. But there is no option to return from the 'game' - "Change Appearance" list drop-down option. Can I go back to the original bridge, if so, how? Thank you
Seasons is the blue bridge, only that I see. It is possible that your computer manufacturer had custom maps, then when you change the appearance, the changes were lost.

Given that I have updated to IOS 9.3.1 my iBooks PDF documents are uploaded to the cloud so that they can be shared on multiple devices, however when I rename a PDF, it comes back to the original name every time iBooks is updated. Anyone who has similar problems and no one knows if there is a resolution?
