How to get back to Windows 7 if windows 10 is not suitable

I read in your information if 10 Windows does not work to your satisfaction, then reinstall Windows 7. Should not be able to reinstall Windows 7 then please contact your supplier. I contacted Samsung, my ISP on the reinstallation of Windows 7 laptop and they referred me back to Microsoft for a response. Now, I spent to long in a vain and full circle.

I am almost computer illiterate and do not understand much of the information found in your response & questions. I think that I am not alone in this regard.

Everything I need to know is what happens if Windows 10 is not to my taste, and I want to go back to Windows 7, I have no problems with at all.

My wife has Windows 8 on his cell phone and I hate it, it seems have been developed for touchscreen computers which none of us.

Windows 10 has the same style as Windows 8, if yes, then I won't.

How long until Windows 7 is deleted, as has already happened with XP that even once, I had no problem with.

My feelings are that Microsoft is very large company seem to dictate to us what they want to do to increase their profits on the pretext that their last o/s is better than all previous versions, when in most cases, the previous version works OK.

John,

Windows 10 will include a feature to "roll back" the previous operating system (Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 on your other computer).  I suggest that you wait until after July 29 to search forum to get advice on what by then there will be messages from users who have tried.

However, you would be taking a great risk of upgrading without taking precautions first, so that you have other ways to restore your computer to their current state.  You need to do all these tasks on your Windows 7 computer and also on your computer Windows 8

  1. Do a 'System recovery disk' Windows 7 / Windows 8 "Disk recovery" unless you have the installation disk
  2. Test the computer can boot from its Windows 7 'System recovery disk' / Windows 8 "Recovery disk" or the Setup disk [they can be tested without doing anything risky - so if you can't find a safe procedure for this elsewhere in the forum then tell & I'll give you appropriate links]
  3. If your manufacturer of PC included a "factory restore" partition, then you need to know how you can transfer on a USB key as the upgrade of Windows 10 will probably * if not destroy it.  Working conditions differ between the PC manufacturers, so you must check in your computer or manuals on PC manufacturers support websites or in their user forums. [* installation of version Preview of Win10 the fact]
  4. Make a picture of 'system' of the main drive on your computer - the drive on which Windows is installed on
  5. Make a backup of files full of your own files, all downloaded files for installing software, all the product keys needed to activate your applications, all the notes of the IDs / passwords etc.

It's guide in Windows Help for each of these tasks, and there are also useful discussions in these forums on them.  As you can guess, the preparations will take you longer than installing Windows 10.  All these preparations are things you could do routinely anyway [even without waiting to make any update]; I hope so

I suggest that you look through descriptions of what makes Windows 10.  I did experiment with it for several months and there is nothing to get excited about.  If there is something you can't currently do or Windows 10 better then consider the upgrade.  If this isn't the case, you can stick with what you have.  Windows 7 will continue to be supported with security updates, as it is now and it will continue until January 14, 2020.  Windows 8 will continue to be supported with up-to-date functional & security until January 9, 2018 and then will be supported with security updates until 10 January 2023-related.

Just for example & nothing more, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10.  I have two computers and there are things that I can't do on the older one because it has Windows XP - because my needs/desires have increased subsequently to adjust to what I can do with Windows 7 [and because it is now too risky to connect WinXP to the internet].  In addition to wanting to be able to do more things with the old computer, my experiences of Win10 thereon [by using the Preview version] convinced me that there are a lot of things that I would find less confusion if I had the same OS on both computers.  That's why I'm going to pay for a new operating system on the Windows XP computer, and why I improve my Win7 computer age to Win10 as well.

If you find no compelling reason to consider whether there could be a compelling reason in the future.  If you are ever going to upgrade two computers so do it by July 29, 2016, so it costs you nothing.  If there is no compelling reason upgrade then don't.

All the best,
