  How to uninstall windows 10 and reinstall windows 7

  I do not recommend coming back because I've seen too much to go wrong.
  Returning can be done only if you have installed in the past 30 days (if you created a new user, you should remove it before come back you)

  Back on the settings > update & security > Recovery > roll back to a previous operating system

  This will only work if the windows.old and 2 hidden folders ($Windows. ~ WS & Windows $. ~ BT) are still present.  If you do that you will need to re - install.

  Uninstall windows 7 Home premium

  How to uninstall windows 7 Home premium package and re install windows vista Home premium SP1

  Given what you have...

  Get/use your Windows Vista Home Premium media (and product key) to start to go and destroy (create new partitions and format) everything that you installed and install again.

  Once you have Windows Vista Home Premium installed, get SP1 and SP2 (in order) to get Vista to update Service Pack, then get all the post-SP2 hotfixes/updates to update installed.

  You also need to locate, download, and install all the drivers for hardware devices,-either by the manufacturer of the computer as a whole (if it's a Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, HP, etc.) or by each manufacturer of components support pages (Intel, Realtek, various manufacturers of motherboard, AMD/ATI, nVidia, Broadcom, etc..)

  You can then install all other applications (office suites, photo-editing suites, video editing suites, Internet plugins, alternative browsers, Internet plugins, etc) and activate the paid applications using the appropriate series/product numbers.

  At this point, you can restore all your backups (documents, music, photos, emails, contacts, databases, spreadsheets, presentations, Favorites/internet Favorites, etc.) on the computer.

• My antivirus does not work after uninstalling windows 10 and return to windows 7

  I have upgraded to windows 10, but has had a few problems in general, especially with my keyboard, the printer, chromium and the office so I decided to go back to windows 7, but since kapersky does not work on my computer. I have full protection, but it will not work. I tried to restore my computer, but there is nothing before the upgrade to windows 10. I tried to restore to a previous version kapersky, but there aren't any. I can't uninstall it because it says it has been removed, even if it is still in the same place, I can't go back because he said that I have already. I tried running as administrator and in compatibility mode, but still does not work. When I try to run as administrator it says I don't have permission to access the item, but he isn't blocked or something. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

  You will probably never get Windows 7 running again, until you perform a new installation of Windows 7.

  I recommend a factory restore.  There is a hidden on your hard drive partition (assuming you have the original OEM hard drive) that has a copy exactly what was on your computer when you first started it.

  Tell us the brand and model and we will send you instructions on how to perform this.

  First of ALL, download your saved data.  Factory restore erases everything.

• Uninstall Windows 7 and return to the previous operating system - Vista

  Victorinox original title: my nephew put windows 7 on toshiba laptop, which had windows vista when I purchesed and there was no disk operations sold with the laptop, how can I get vista windows on here.

  can someone help me, myh computer did not come with all the disks to restore my windows vista or that applications where load on this toshiba satellite a305-56903. DOE anyone know anything I can do to solve this problem.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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

  After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  The page size has changed. the Office remains in the background. some of the icons associated with sending mail have dissappeared.

  Its share of Vista if you cannot reinstall independently.  Try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and also check interference of 3rd party program (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  If this does not help, then try to go to the command prompt and type

  SFC/scannow

  and see if that helps any.

  Windows XP genuine advantage is provided for the computer you bought in 2002, you can not go to install on another computer.

  If you need run Windows XP, I suggest that you upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, and then download and install free Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP mode.

  Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.

  Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.
