    Found the likely cause of not being able to go back to 7


    I have tried getting Win 7 back but regardless of efforts and methods used it's a no go because updates will not be found , i think the below explains why .

    After reinstalling numerous times and using the SURT tool , resetting all update components and using every other troubleshooter available it's hopeless .

    If MS is trying to prevent people from going back to 7 they are doing an excellent job.

    Thanks Microsoft


    :)

    Try Opera Mini instead of the built-in browser.

    Hi! Here's all I know about rolling back to W7. My advise is to always have a back up image of your OS before doing any major changes. To late for that! Give this a look! I'm sure you will get back to W7, but it might be a PITA

    I have no problems getting back to 7 at all , i want a clean install not from an image and WU will not work when doing that anymore , in the past no issues but since Win 10 seems everybody attempting a clean install of 7 is having extremely long waits or it not working at all.

    I have a new SSD and want to install Win 7 fresh on it , not working anymore and there's no doubt in my mind MS likes it that way .

    If people did backups they would do an excellent job at going back to Windows 7.

    If you are experiencing errors, it would be helpful if you provided the exact wording of the error message and possibly the error code, if present. Windows Update writes a log file inside the Windows folder - this file surely will contain helpful information on what is going on when you run Windows Update.

    And allow me one note on your unsourced claims about Microsoft corporation: I don't know how it's in your country, but in mine such claims doing harm to their business can quickly become expensive. I would be very careful with things like that - especially if you cannot prove them.

    The legislator knows that people often do not immediately have enough money/possession. That is one of the reasons why writs of execution either can be renewed rather easily or have a very long time of validity.
