Windows 10: going back to 10130

Shawn; and or others; I just tried to go back to the previous build but it says I cant because the files for the previous build were removed from the system. Any ideas how to resolve this?

 

Matt,

In that case, it looks like you may have to do a clean install to go back to build 10130. *Sad

 

Well i really dont want to do that unless totally essential. The biggest problem with this 10147 is i cant get the store to open.

beta store wont open

 

Sorry man. You're stuck with those issues. Like MS said, Win 10 preview isn't for everybody. It's should not replace your day to day PC. It will be buggy. It will crash. It will break your PC.
When the new build is out, most of us here will do a clean install. Because we know that is the best way of doing it. 10147 is not an official release. It's a leak. 10130 is that last official build released by MS.

 

Well; i think for right now; I am going to re-install win 7; then go back and reinstall 10130 and hopefully that will fix things at least in the short term anyway.

 

Matt,

If you were planning on upgrading from Windows 7 to 10130, then it would be better to directly clean install 10130 instead.

 

I know it would be shawn; but I dont want to lose all my files even though I have a backup of them. Its a pain in the u know what to have to go through restoring all the files and waiting for my backup to restore.

 

well sadly it looks like I dont have a choice but to do a clean install because it wont run my windows 7 install disc; and it wont let me go back to the previous build so Im stuck in a corner here so to speak.

 

Matt
Does your 7 disk start at boot? If not have you set your dvd to star first in the Bios?

 

If MS does not come out with a new build, I will go back to 10147..

 

Even if you can't roll back all your data will be contained in the Windows.old folder so you won't be losing anything.

 

I assume you are well aware of disk imaging. The lesson here is to perform such a backup before "experimenting" - because s--t happens! I submit that the time spent trying to resolve this issue probably would have been significantly shorter by restoring with an image. I, too, love to play with software and frequently have had to rely on disk images to get me back to square one.
