Windows 10: Is there a way to "go back" to an earlier date in Windows 10?

My PrintMaster program will not run. It wants to reinstall. Can I reset it like you could with other Windows versions? I have looked for setback, recovery to no avail. Drat!
Thanks in advance! Eileen

Is there a way to go back to windows 7?

Just bought a new laptop with Windows 10 - I understand that time needed to relearn everything from Windows 7. What a headache, time consuming waste! I am thinking to convert to Fedora, Ubuntu or Mint...

Is there a way to go back to windows 7?

Hello Gary,

Apparently, Windows 7 and Windows 8 is no longer available from the Microsoft
Store.

If your laptop is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) licensed, you may still request a downgrade recovery media from the laptop manufacturer. Once the downgrade procedure is complete, you may get in touch with the manufacturer if the
product key needs to be overridden to the laptop's BIOS. To check the product key installed on your system, click the
Start button, type slmgr.vbs /dli, and then press
Enter. Check the Description to know if the product key is
OEM or not.

NOTE: You may encounter possible driver issue upon downgrading your laptop since it is designed for Windows 10. There's also no guarantee that it can be done to your laptop especially if the device is not compatible with prior versions of
Windows.

Let us know if you have other questions.

"Can I reset it like you could with other Windows versions?"
With old programs, you can set the compatibility to a version of Windows where you know the program used to work. Navigate to the C;/Program Files (x86)/{desired program}. Find the exe that opens the program, r-click and set compatibility, as desired. see image -

 

I'm not familiar with PrintMaster so here are a couple of random thoughts.

1. If PrintMaster was recently working and suddenly stopped working, you could try using a System Restore Point to roll your computer back to a date/time prior to it stopping.

2. Open Control Panel by right-clicking the start button. Go to Programs and Features and look for PrintMaster (it might be listed under the name of the parent company Broderbund.) Click on the program name to highlight it and then see if you have an option to repair it. (My screenshot is just an example of repair option.)





3. If you still have issues you could try contacting technical support to see if they have a way to repair your installed PrintMaster.
