Windows 10: Pls help me with restore to 7

She fellows .... she *Smile bb

I warned you of my denseness with this stuff *Tongue

 

Just try going into your settings menu , then choose Update and Security menu, then Choose the Recovery option ....*Smile

 

Ok I'm losing my patience now .... I clicked on settings, (Start>settings) the blue window comes up and then vanishes. Nothing loads. I've been in there before. I know it USED to work. ..........

 

Look over on your Right side ....lower right Action Center click on that ....then All Settings

 

I got the same result. wth is happening?

 

Looks like your windows 10 is still messed up ...

 

You will have to try the repair option ....after that, I don't know if you will be able to go back to 7

 

You would THINK that I'd listen to the majority of the people I know who tried 10 and had trouble with 10. But nope! I got tired of being bullied by 10 reminders so installed the crap.

Ok well I think I'll just do a clean reformat with my windows 7 disk. What are your thoughts?

 

I've upgraded two old HP computers from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro with no problems ....these computers were 9 years old. They run windows 10 very well ....But some folks do have problems. I think Windows 10 is much better than Windows 7. But ....if you want to go back to 7 ....your only choice might be a clean install back to 7

 

A windows 10 Repair would fix your existing Windows 10 now .....but not sure if you would still have the option to go back to 7 after you do the repair .....thou ....you might still be able too. I'm not 100% sure.

 

If your going to try a clean install back to Windows 7 .....why not do the Repair install for Windows 10 1st ....see how it runs, then if you don't like it ....clean install your Windows 7 then. ???

 

I do. I hate the task manager in 10. It's very hard to get my data to copy to my external HD. I figured out that I can't copy/paste, drag or "send to" folders.. I have to remove everything from the folders to save. I can't find things. I will miss Edge which I think is MUCH better than IE. I still use IE to browse because I can find my links in Favorites. If I could find where links are stored in other browsers I'd use another browser. I do use Opera to play a game. It's the only browser that'll work with the game. So, I think that's what I'll do. I'm not shy to the windows forums. I drove you all crazy in the windows 7 forum. I know sometimes days go by without any resolution to a problem and I end up reinstalling anyway. Instead of taking up your time and driving us both nuts annnd getting this done faster, I'll do it that way.

There isn't a reputation button on here?

Thank you very much for all your effort!

I just got your new message. How do I do a 10 repair?

 

Ugh I just got a headache thinking of all the Sim games I have to reinstall ... *cries*

 

Their is a rep button ....its the thumbs up button lol under your My System Specs ...
You need to download the Windows iso ...and pick the exact same version you have now ....from Tech Bench ....then mount it ....if that choice still works ....from your windows 10, and choose the Setup.exe file. A repair will keep ALL your personal files and installed programs ...IF you do it right. *Smile

 

Yeah doing it right is the problem lol Can you share that link please?
