Windows 10: Pls help me with restore to 7

Is sfc still running ??

 

Ok. Pic up.

 

Ok you have 2 choices now, we can try a repair install .... Or we can try using Dism command to repair those corrupt files.
Either way you will have to download the latest Windows 10 iso .....unless you already have a Current copy now.

 

I will give you the link for the windows iso ....if you don't have it already....let me know.
Need to download the iso from Tech Bench ....not from using the Media Creation Tool

 

I'm just making sure we're repairing things to be able to do a system restore to 7. Are we? lol I don't want to make either one of us take the time to do things that doesn't have anything to do with not going back to 7.

Yes, I'd need the link please.

 

Ok then why not try it again right now then ......see if it works any better than the last time you tried ....let me know.
see if Windows will take you back to windows 7

 

Too bad you didn't make a image backup BEFORE upgrading to Windows 10 ....if you had ....you could have made things a lot easier...*Smile

 

I don't even know what that is! lol
I'm waiting for system restore to start.

 

Image backup makes a Complete backup of everything on your C drive and then you place this backup on any external drive or a 2nd internal drive .....external is much better choice. Then if you had done that, before upgrading you could Restore your Windows 7 in about 10 mins .....This is using a program called Macrium Reflect. Can't do it now thou.

 

Well, I have everything on my external hard drive but I'm thinking your way is much faster.

Hey!! It's going to let me restore now!! I'll be back and let you know what's going on *Biggrin

 

OK !!! Good Luck !!

 

thank you but ... that happiness was short lived ... *Mad





I am starting again so I can show you which restore point I am using.

 

You should not be trying to restore from a restore point - you should be trying to revert back to your previous OS:
Windows 10 - Go Back to Previous Windows - Windows 10 Forums

 

Actually I thought he WAS going back to his Recovery in Update and Security .....Grrrrrr

 

Option one ... I've been there in the last day. I don't remember what happened. I searched online for help and tried a whole bunch of things before coming here. I'm going to do one of those options now. Can I not use a restore point becuz I want to go back to a different version of Windows or ... we just shouldn't use it?

The windows 10 forum doesn't have "reputation" like the windows 7 forum does? Ok bb Thank you.
