Return to Windows 10 for Windows 7

Separated from this thread.

I upgraded my PC to window 10 and didn't have any other problems with it. I lost the documents and valuable images and must get back them. I bought a recovery program and it didn't work at all. I am on a limited budget and can't afford to spend my money on something that isn't a job. I'm hoping to return to window 7 I'll be able to recover these items, as well as some programs such as Word Processor window. I worked and worked on this PC for days trying to recover not only the lost files, but to restore Windows 7 without any result. Please help me as soon as possible. My lost items are very valuable, and I found that 7 window to be more user friendly.

See Gerry Cornell answer and note that you can do this only if you did an upgrade, not a new install of Windows 10, and if this was done in the last 30 days.

If you have lost your photos and documents, it seems that you did a clean install, not an upgrade, and you're out of luck.

Another point: it looks like you do not backup media outside regular photos and documents. If this is the case, you've played with fire. You should definitely make a backup before taking a big step to a Windows Update, but do it regularly even if you do not have. "As it has often been said, it isn't a question of * if * you will lose all your data, but * when".

  • Qosmio X 500-10 X returns to windows during games

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio X 500 - 10 X running 64-bit windows 7, and for some reason any it frequently and in a way repeated returns to windows all in game. The reason is unknown, but it seems that something in windows is attracting attention to itself, but there are no alerts or additional icons in the task bar visible once back in windows. In addition, some games can be very difficult to return only once in windows.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • RETURN TO WINDOWS 7

    What do you do when you don't have the windows.old file and you try to uninstall windows 10 to return to Windows 7 while do I do

    Hello

    If you don't like Windows 10, there is provision integrated into Windows 10 for you to restore to the previous operating system, within 30 days.

    "You have a month to upgrade to 8.1 Windows or 7, depending on what you upgraded, so Windows 10 isn't good for you"

    http://www.TechRadar.com/au/news/software/operating-systems/you-have-a-month-to-downgrade-to-Windows-8-1-if-Windows-10-isn-t-right-for-you-1299430

    If you are unable to see if in the first 30 days of upgrade option will be removed and, you will have either to reinstall the original operating system from the media original or an Image of the system as you did the original operating system before you perform the upgrade to Windows 10.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Or you may need to follow these methods to reinstall Windows 7.

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

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

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    See you soon.

  • Windows 10 suddenly returned to Windows 7, then could not start

    Hello

    I ask this question on behalf of the client that I am helping with his computer.

    I have yet to his computer to check his story, which is very undetailed and wave, but I was hoping there is some information out there to specify what can be the cause and the solution.

    I installed Windows 10 (with a few problems because of an incompatible program) successfully somewhere in December.

    More than two weeks later, the customer reports that his computer has been restored to Windows 7, without his intervention.

    A few days later, the customer reports the computer now refusing to start at all, apparently stuck in a sort of "System Restore" (indicating errors to cause of which he cannot start) and which shows no signs of progress, even after loading of so-called whole day.

    Of course, the event beforehand is quite strange. Since when the operating system downgrade itself automatically?

    This has occurred within the period of 30 days in which Windows can indeed be restored to Windows 7, but I don't think that in the choice of the user in the settings.

    • Y at - it no information as to how this could happen and remedy?
    • Is the previous installation of Windows 10 possible cause to this problem?

    I support the latter is highly unlikely, because it is unlikely that the activities I did on his computer of lead a problem more than two weeks later the success of use, and that a cause can be determined from just this event.

    My client submits it must be, because it uses the computer for everyday tasks.

    Thanks in advance for any information provided,

    Isaiah van Hunen

    Hi Isaiah,

    Thanks for posting in the community.

    We understand your concerns and we will help you solve the problem.

    According to the information that you provide, it is unlikely that the operating system has returned to Windows 7 on its own, there are a few changes that took place leading up to the OS to roll back.

    If the installation of Windows 10 has failed, it would have restored to the previous operating system installation and not after two weeks.

    To narrow down the cause of the problem, I would like you to provide the information below:

    1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    2 did you receive error messages when the computer restored to the previous operating system?

    As you have said that the system restored to the previous operating system, and is in a State that won't start plu. I suggest that you try to restore the system from the Restore page of the system the system is currently blocked in. If you are unable to solve the problem, I suggest that you insert a previous operating system bootable DVD and try to retrieve the comp uter.

    Hope this information helps.
