    How to revert to an older verison of Windows 10?


    I recently updated my PC to the latest version of Windows 10, however, since the update, my PC has been having issues- giving me the BSoD every 30-60 minutes. I would like to revert to the second latest version of Windows 10, as that update did not give me any troubles.


    However, when trying to do so, I do not see any option to revert to an earlier version of Windows 10 in Recovery. Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks!

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10...and then reverting back. Help!

    Quick question...

    Right now I am installing Windows 10 on some PC's and then will be reverting them back to Windows 7. That's because these PC's will be teller PC's. The reason I am going to 10 now is because of course it is free. However, if all the PC's are the same exact hardware is this even necessary? If they are the same exact hardware, couldn't I simply upgrade them to 10 even after July 29th? All of the PC's have the same Windows 7 key because I am assuming it's volume licensing. So as it stands right now, after upgrading they all end with the same Windows 10 key.

    So in short I suppose, later on couldn't I use the Windows 10 key that it is giving them now to upgrade since it is all the same exact hardware? I am just double checking because the last thing I want to do is upgrade these new teller PC's to 10 and downgrade them when I really don't have to.
