I want to remove Windows 10 and go back to Windows 7 Home Premium that came on my laptop.

Hello Kathi,

Some applications that came with Windows 10 like Mail, Cortana, and Store will no longer be available if you go back to Windows 7. To address your concern, an installation disc or a product key is no longer needed since you availed of the free upgrade to Windows
10. To reset your laptop to its original version of Windows, kindly follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings.
• Click Update & security.
• Go to Recovery.
• Select Reset this PC.
• Click on Get started and look for Restore factory settings.

For more information about the recovery options for Windows, you may also refer to this article:

There's no need to reset the laptop. Simply create a new user account for you, change its account type to administrator (all new accounts after the first initial one are standard accounts when created), sign out from the original account, sign in to your new account and finally remove the original account. Takes a few minutes, much faster than a full reset.

• Step 1, create a new user account: User Account - Add in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2, change the new account's type to Administrator: Account Type - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 3, remove the original account: User Account - Delete in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
