    Accidental downgrade from win10 to win7


    Trying via e2b to install win7 on an external HD, to run some software made for win7 by booting from the external HD, I accidentally overwrote my win10 on my Dell E7253 laptop. Is there any way of undoing this, and restoring the laptop to win10, and get it back to the state it was in before? I haven't been able to find any restore points, and never made the recoverydisk. At the moment, it won't even boot into win7. I have tried Hirens bootcd, but cant get it to find the old win10-installation...Thx in advance.

    :)

  3. Will i be able to downgrade from win10 to win7 and upgrade to win10 again for free?

    I originally ran in win7 home premuim, but then recently upgraded to win10 and kept it for almost a week now. Since I've had some driver compatibility problems (for gaming reasons) i would like to downgrade to win7, but since it says "the option to downgrade
    is only available for month" i feel like if i download then a month later i will no longer be able to go back to win10 for free.
    So what im asking is will win10 still be available for free when downgrading to win7 or even for win8/8.1 users???

    Downgrade win10 to win7

    Hi.

    After so much trouble with win10 I think it's time to go back to the os that worked perfectly for me,windows 7.

    I tried several things,but sadly nothing worked.

    The options in recovery dont react at all.

    I still have the windows.old folder.(but something might have been removed since a bit earlier the recover option to get back to win7 told me I cant)

    Anyways...please tell me a step by step the easiest way to get back to my previous build win7,but I want to keep my files.(at least the files I had when I was on win7,by files I also mean programs)

    I really dont want to do a clean install.

    I also tried running win10 setup again in case I could get in recovery that way,but the setup doesnt want to run.

    Whoever gives me answers I hope you stick around till I actually say that I managed to do it...in some other threads it seems I am completely ignored after first answer which wasnt even close to the issue....
