I want to revert back to Windows 7

Trillionaire

Could someone tell me, in the most simplest of words/instructions how to revert back to windows 7 please.

I upgraded yesterday on my laptop & it took over 2 hours to do so. OK. I tried to sign in, as my laptop has a password, & it wouldn't let me!!! Told me my password is invalid.:( I tried to reset the password but, duh, I hadn't set up a 'master password disc' whatever. I turned off my laptop in frustration & went & had my Sunday dinner (jerk chicken, roast lamb, rice & peas with salad if anyone's interested :rotfl:) Finally went back to my lp & was able to sign in.

This morning turned on my lp & waited, & waited, & waited for the desktop to appear. No such luck, so I turned it off using the shut off button. Waited a few secs then turned on again. The lp took 4 minutes from turn on to desktop!!! Seriously not good. I want to revert back. Please help.

Q: If I want to give windows 10 another go at a much later date, would I be able to? and how would I go about that?

have you actually allowed time for Microsoft to download driver and security updates , whilst this is happening , your machine would show down quite a lot ,


PS: , whats an lp?

On your lp (laptop) from Settings > Update & security > Recovery.

You have until July 31st 2016 to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.

Seriously, how long do they need? I started the upgrade 13.19p.m. on 27/09/15.

If you are having problems with your ip then network errors may be your problem .

after the windows iso has loaded , the machine will need driver and security updates (not in the iso) , bottom right (square box) /all settings/update and security , and let the thing look and find then download and install all needed files

Two, ones that work and ones that don't.

Ones that work part of the time and ones that don't.

Security is a process, not a product.
