How to return to windows 7

Windows 8 has so many problems with my laptop and I want to go back to windows 7, especially because the preview has expired and it is time, I herd you need a disc my father back creates a with his laptop which is different than mine could I use it? If not what are the steps because I have no backup discs

You must make a return on factory reset. Note that if you save all the important things, it will be lost after the reset.

Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    I have recently upgraded to windows 7 to windows 8, and now I do not have windows 8. I want to go back to windows 7.

    Many people say that it is possible using the HDD Recovery folder that I have on my D drive and it s 13.5 GB.

    What I need is to know if its possible and if you can you explain to me how its done.

    I searched the Web for an answer for tha last 4 hours and I thank you

    > Many people say that it is possible using the HDD Recovery folder that I have on my D drive and it s 13.5 GB

    A lot of people said you can use HARD drive recovery in order to put the system back to factory settings.
    This true s but this is possible ONLY if the system has not been modified.

    In case you have changed the system, you could go back to the factory settings using the recovery disk!
    Recovery disk may be created using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

    Have you created this disc in the past!

  • How to return to Windows Media Player 10?

    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I want to install adriver for a Creative Zen Touch MP3 player. This operation requires me to go back to Windows Media Player 10, but I can't understand how do. I tried turning on Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Media Player 10, but when I tried to install it, the installation program has recognized the updated version and completed.

    I need to install a driver because the software does not recognize the drive when it is connected.

    =================================
    OK... but why must it be recognized? Is it
    in order to copy MP3 files to MP3 player?

    If you connect the MP3 player and go to my computer
    It can be recognized as a removable drive... If this is the case, you
    can add files from there, and no driver is required.

  • How to return to Windows 8 Preview Release to Windows 7?

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad that can factory stocked with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit, so I don't have the original dvd to replace my Windows 8 Preview version. Their must be a way for me to format and do a clean install of my original Windows 7, right? I have a series of DVDs that I created to boot from in case of a problem, although I'm not sure that these backups will contain the Windows 7 operating system. The worst part is that my Western Digital external hard drive is not recognized by Windows 8 Preview Release, so frustrating. Help, please

    1. call Lenovo, ask a Disks.The recovery set charge for all is small and it's money well spent.
    At the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask technology to teach you how to use the recovery discs.
    This method does not require you to enter the product key.

    2. an alternative is to re - install your Windows 7 running by downloading Windows 7 iso, burn it to a bootable DVD with software like Imgburn.
    If you choose this method, you must have your Win 7 Home OEM product key.

    There is that a single legitimate source to download Win 7 ISO.  It is Digital River which is supported and recognized by Microsoft.

    Make sure you only select the iso 64-bit.

  • How to return to windows installer? Bootcamp

    After my bootcamp partition, the computer has been restarted with the windows installer. I got to the part that says select partition to install windows. I read the message that he is not the right format requires NTFS. Well, I clicked format and it made me nervous because he said that he would erase everything. So I closed out of the installer to see after some research, I actually just click on the format button. My question is, is there anyway I can go back to where I run the windows 10 installation to install or I have to delete my bootcamp partition and completely from the beginning.

    It depends on your year/model of Mac. If a USB Installer has been created or a DVD has been used, there is no need to recreate the partition. In the case of 2015 Mac, you need to remove the partition and recreate. Please create a partition of sufficient size (about 50-60GB) to avoid future problems.

  • Problems 8.1 of Windows and how to return to Windows 8?

    Hello

    After updating my windows 8 for windows 8.1, I faced a lot of problems. Now, I don't know what my current version of windows. It's because I cancel the installation before you do. I don't know if my version of windows change or not.  When I watch the news of the PC, it shows Windows 8 unique language. FYI, I got the update for windows 8.1 in apps store.

    The problem I faced is I couldn't access my apps store, but now I managed to get working again. But I can still install anything on my PC. The error message appeared again and again. I can download update/nothing at all. Second, I couldn't access my other applications (music, video, games, camera, XBOX and others). I tried a lot of solution in the net, but it doesn't seem to be working. Then, before updating the windows, I downloaded the apps store games, but after that I have cannot access this game more. I also faced a problem that I could not launched Chrome on windows mode 8.

    Is there a method to fix it? Or can I just go back to Windows 8 back again? Show me the way, please. Or I need to format it?

    Really need your help.
    Thank you!

    Hi John the Baptist.

    You will need to perform the refresh without affecting your files. Refresh your PC reinstall Windows and keep your personal files and settings. It also keeps the applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store.

    You need to install the printer drivers and once antivirus after refresh. As I mentioned, it's the same that reinstall Windows keeping your personal files and settings.

    For more information, you can consult the following Microsoft Help article.

    Please do not hesitate to visit our Web site for any help with the Windows operating system.

    I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it.  How to return windows 7?

    Hello

    Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.

    If you don't have that:

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

    If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.
