  If Pro 10 Windows was preinstalled on your computer, see how in-depth instructions downgrade:

  How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1

  As mentioned in the article, it is your responsibility to facilitate access to Windows 7 Professional reinstall media. He may be borrowing retail upgrade or full version of media or OEM System Builder.

  You can use the following utility to download the ISO of Windows 7 Professional:

  Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

  Instructions for activation phone activation use after decommissioning in detail article I linked at the start. No need to buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Instead of replace, you might want to consider dual booting:

  How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first

  If what you bought is an OEM System Builder Windows 10 Pro license, then you can indeed buy Windows 7 Professional.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• Another way to downgrade to win 8 pro for win 7 pro

  I got a new Mini-Tower xps 8700 with 8 pre-installed pro victory. I think this falls into the rules of dell for win 7 pro downgrade. The question is can I use a reinstall pro 7 dell victory of a computer drive dell laptop to achieve this downgrade?

  "I got a new Mini-Tower xps 8700 with 8 pre-installed pro victory. I think this falls into the rules of dell for win 7 pro downgrade. »

  They are not rules downgrade "Dell"... they are rules of downgrade from Microsoft, and Yes, Windows 8 Pro (Pro ONLY) qualifies for the downgrade rights.  Activation for downgrade rights is the responsibility of the user, so you can activate it using ANY other license (even if used on a different machine/account without affecting this license)... a Dell installation DVD is eligible.  Normally, a Dell installation DVD requires NO key to enter, and the range of systems that work with a DVD is extensive, but not universal, so if it asks for a product key, you will need to have one of your own to provide.

  Why would you downgrade?

  The printer works fine when I print using the driver provided by HP Windows XP installed in the Windows XP Mode (Windows Virtual PC), so I don't know that there is no problem with all the material involved, or the driver XP.  The problem, therefore, must be in the Windows 7 driver (maybe not limited to the 64-bit version - I have no possibility to test Windows 7 32 bit).  Several others have reported the same problem, as we see in the links below:

• Satellite P750 Win 7 update for Windows 10

  Hello everyone,

  I was recently offered to upgrade my Satellite P750 (PSAY3E-01K00WY4).

  I'm getting confused because of these things. On the list of devices allowed for the Toshiba upgrade I just discovered that my model is not on it.
  However, I managed to install Win 10 and use it for about 20 minutes when error "unhandled exception in thread system" approached. Found out that it is thanks to the inadequate graphics card or its driver.

  Could you confirm me my device is not appropriate for the upgrade and tell me is there a way to upgrade the graphics card because I really like my Toshiba?

  All the best, Bravo!

  You just need to update the display drivers. Download the latest version of Intel/nVidia/ATI (AMD)

  Hi mate

  As I see you are using the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
  In my opinion, you cannot install or create a Win XP 32 bit mode because Windows 7 is 64 bit OS!

  In my opinion, you would need a Win 7 32 bit OS in order to create a Win XP 32 bit mode!

  In short, no..

  You can install W7 on this laptop and if there are programs that you need which can only run in XP, then install W7 pro and use XP mode in virtual PC, if you can enable virtualization in the BIOS of your PC.
