I've recently been the recipient (aka victim) of a forced Windows 10 update.

Looking in Control Panel, there an option to:-

"Back up and Restore (Windows 7)"

Odd thing is, my PC had 8.1 on it, not 7 :huh:

    Congratulations, welcome to far superior version of windows compared to 7, 8 or 8.1.
    The luddite in you will soon be relegated to yesteryears along with windows 95, xp, vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. :)

    Did you not like the responses you had on the thread you posted about the exact same subject yesterday? :huh:

    Also, I agree with the above poster (ARandomMiser,) that Windows 10 is much better than 7, and 8, and 8.1.
    Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!


    You're not singing anymore........ You're not singing any-more! :D

    This thread isn't about the same subject at all.

    This is about being offered the choice, to revert to an OS that has never been on this PC :huh:

    Actually a boo-boo.

    I just realised, it's in the wrong forum. :o

    I'll ask the mods to move it.
