  2. Rolling back to Windows 7 from Windows 10, then back to 10 when support for 7 ends.

    Hi, thanks for your answer. So, at the point we decide to go back up to Windows 10, will we be able to download it from Microsoft's website, or is there another way? Should we make some sort of backup of her current hard drive? or... ??? Thanks tons again!

  3. Rolling back to Windows 7 from Windows 10, then back to 10 when support for 7 ends.

    1. Go back to Windows 7 or go back to the previous build?

    2. Did you purchase the refurbished computer on 10 January, first use it on 10 January, or did the refurbisher (I assume) "install" Win10 on 10 January?

    3a. Where did you purchased the refurbished computer?

    3b. Do you know who refurbished it?

    4. What Windows 10 Version & OS Build is currently installed?

    Press & hold the Windows Key and press the R
    key. In the RUN dialog, type WINVER and press the Enter key.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Comments:

    • IMHO you can't trust the security of any used computer unless & until YOU have formatted the HDD & then done a clean install of Windows (or paid someone - not the supposed "refurbisher" - to do it for you).
    • Mom's prolly better off sticking with Win10. Learning new stuff is good for her! <wink>

    We purchased the computer from a Comprenew store on January 18, but the date on the OS install was January 10. We just activated the software on the 18th. Comprenew recycles old electronics etc. and is a certified Microsoft refurbisher. I am not positive
    which build is installed, but I can find it when I get over there. It looks like we have lots of help here to figure things out... all is tremendously appreciated. And... yes....it is good for her to learn new stuff, so we are trying to encourage her to
    learn the "new" Windows OS. We'll see what happens. Thanks again! Help! Need guide to reset some appearances... :) Oh yeah, I do need to double check if it says go back to Windows7 or previous build...thanks for that. I've been looking at too many computers lately... can't remember which one says
    what. :[

    Hi, try Settings, Personalisation, Colours, scroll right down to the bottom and look at the two options.

    Sorry I meant the right click menu, not the taskbar.

    That's a relatively new MS thing.. their attempt to start to begin to introduce consistency in popup and context menus.. except it's not actually at all consistent yet.

    Some people using high contrast themes as a basis can get different colours.. see elsewhere in Customisation.

    @ DamienJQ:
    For the most part it takes a 3rd party theme and patching to accomplish changing the colors of the right click context menus.
    I must say though, the black context menu looks great against your wallpaper! *Smile
