Problems by going back to Windows 7 of 10

I was on Windows 7 Home premium and upgraded to Windows 10. He removed from Google Chrome and some of my passwords, has been so slow, that it was practically dead, that I kept getting Oops messages because he could not access the websites and finally kept 'crashing' when I tried to type a message on EBay. About 4 days, I decided to go back to Windows 7. He deleted Windows 10 and closed, then began to say something like "Microsoft is loading files", after a while, I got a message saying that he was unable to restart the computer (laptop) and offered several checks I could do, which none worked. As soon as I changed the laptop on I kept getting the message downloading files and always ending with the computer restarts. I could not turn it on and go to the control panel or access anything. In frustration I took it to a 'computer shop '. I have it be perceived today and told me that I have been upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. I got home to find that everything has been erased, pictures. documents, downloads, files, and most of the project of a book I was writing. I reinstalled Google Chrome and have found a lot of my previous sites/research etc., but the most important things are missing. (I intend to take the laptop to the store tomorrow but one) I need to know my info can be retrieved and b) what went wrong

I'm not a fanatic of computing if you need answers in the plain, English simple please

Thank you in anticipation

Looks like a computer store shady to me.  (Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, really?)

If you have no backups, your stuff may be gone.  Life lesson (and the mantra of the computer for several decades): backup backup backup.  It concerns some initial cost and effort, but in the end, there not many other things in life that provide comfort and the ability of a backup.

Oddly, it seems that SOME of your items is where?  Have you looked into the C:\ drive for a folder called "Windows.OLD"?  Is this one?

  • Printer problem after going back to Windows7 after trying Windows 10.

    I restored Windows7 after my second attempt to use Windows 10. Now my computer does not print to my HP LaserJet, even if my other computer printing to the same printer. I removed the printer and reinstalled, but I still can't print to it.

    I can print on an older Kodak printer, but for this HP Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw.

    Rosemary,

    After the upgrade, and back between the windows, this maybe corrupt several times the drivers that your computer is equipped for HP LaserJet printers.

    Have you tried to uninstall the driver, download the latest from the manufacturers Web site and install it?

    Here is a link below for the drivers of your printer.

  • Wanted: White screen after 10 Windows Update - problem even when back in windows 8.1

    Hello

    I've updated to windows 10 and after a few hours, the main screen of my laptop went blank but my second monitor that I use with a HDMI cable still works.

    Here is a screenshot - one screen shows white and I'm typing this on screen 2 (continue below)

    I've updated my drivers in Device Manager but problem persists, here's my profile for screens and link to full

    (continue below photo)

    Complete specifications

    http://Speccy.Piriform.com/results/ZRXCgJC8x3PrsszxBodRVhn

    From my understanding the cables of the screen white screens LCD is still, this problem started after the update of Windows 10 so I'm reluctant to think it's that. My laptop is still under warranty but do not want to send in if he didn't need that I need for work.

    I found some information online saying that a restore Image will not work, but I have an and you can try it if need be.

    Other information found online says that my computer basically "forgot" that I have a main display to get out information in and make the screen and that's why my second screen works perfectly and me might be able to solve this problem with the start of the saving mode and try to fix it from there again I've never done this and don't want to cause more problems doing things like that.

    What could be the best way to go forward with this problem is to say. :

    * Is there a way to check the LCD cables without disassembling the computer. (Don't want to do that, and don't think it's the fault)

    * System Restore will help

    * Where / who should I contact for help in this regard

    Thanks for any help provided and please tell me if you need any other info to help. I really want to to fix the problem rather than take it to a guy or HP

    It's a bad screen. The upgrade of Windows 10 timing is a coincidence. You can continue to use it as a desktop computer with an external monitor forever.

    b : now, look for a service called Windows Defender, double-click to open it.

    Hi I have a problem connecting to the internet. When I click on the internet it goes straight to windows media player.

    HI Maria,

    If you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations.  Once done, do the same for LNK entry.  This should restore your programs and get the Internet icon to go to the internet rather than WMP.  If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

    If this does not work and it started recently, try a system restore to a restore point BEFORE the problem started.  If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.  If the first attempt fails, try an earlier point or two because the problem may have started before you noticed.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • problem with validation after downgrading to windows 10 back to windows 7.

    My windows 7 has been posted before I did the update. What should I do now? Before, I decided to go back to windows 7, I was in the process (at the suggestion of Microsoft) update my windows 10 driver.  I stopped when I saw that they were demanding money.  It was one of these "30 days offers free trial."  After that I spent in windows 7 I checked my download folder and found 2 configuration files for windows 10 drivers.  I deleted those. Shortly after that I have got a saying my Windows 7 must be validated.  I did and it showed the my windows 7 is not legitimate... did that three times and he still come as my windows 7 could not be validated.  Now I can't make any updates.

  • go to a web page, firefox will pass it to a "file not found" but arrow to the left shows the page then goes back to 'file not found' again.

    for example. Google 'bc spca', choose www.spca.bc.ca and go. Firefox gives me this...

    File not found
    Sorry, the page you requested was not found. Please try again.

    Original URI: /assets/tab_advocate_mo.jpg

    But if I hit the arrow to the left, it shows me the page I searched for a fraction of a second, then goes back to the file not found again. This does not happen with Chrome or Internet Explorer. They go to the appropriate page.

    I am running windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. NO GO. Help, please.

    Generally if an image on a page can not be found, Firefox does not redirect the entire page with an error message. the area of the image is just left in white. If this is not normal.

    On the error page, what do you see in the address bar, if anything?

    To check if one of your extensions could be the culprit, could test some pages from Firefox Safe Mode problem? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

  • Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

    Hey all,.

    I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

    My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

    Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

    If you follow this step 3.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/675-system-image-recovery.html

    You will need to select "format and repartition disks" as windows 10 will have changed partitions.
