  1. Problems in Win 10 after downgrade from Win 11


    I updated my Windows 10 laptop to Windows 11 Beta Insider Build today and downgraded back to Win 10 after using it for a couple hours. After downgrading from Win 11, Windows seems to have corrupted or something.After downgrading I deleted all the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Then I uninstalled some updates that were updated during the Win 11 upgrade. And I also rolled back my Intel Display adapter to the previous version because Windows downloads a new one for Win 11 support I guessThe Problems are:-When I open the Task Manager and selected the Performance tab, it doesn

  2. win 10 downgrade to win 7

    Hi,

    You can downgrade it, BUT:

    As it is an OEM preinstalled operating system Windows 10 Pro, you will have to contact Lenovo and discuss this with them.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Here is the information about Downgrade rights. It is an old Microsoft link which they removed but the information still apples>

    Device Partner Center

    Downgrade rights for Windows software
    The following OEM versions of Windows software are eligible for downgrade rights.

    [table][tr][td]Windows 10 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • Windows 7 Professional
    [/td][td]Windows 8.1 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 7 Professional
    • Windows Vista Business
    [/td][td]Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate include downgrade rights to:
    • Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate
    • Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, or Windows XP x64 Edition
    Note Other OEM Windows 7 versions (for example, Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Home Premium) do not include downgrade rights.[/td][/tr][/table]

    Note downgrade rights are only available as long as Microsoft provides support for that earlier version,
    as outlined in the
    Windows lifecycle fact sheet
    .

    Steps for an end user to downgrade Windows software
    To downgrade eligible Windows software, end users must:

    • Purchase a PC preinstalled with Windows software.
    • Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
    • Perform the downgrade process to the eligible downgrade product using the media/key from a genuine, previously licensed OEM or retail product.

    Lifecycle FAQ - Windows | Microsoft Docs

    Windows downgrade rights ]

    To use prior versions of Windows software on PCs installed with newer versions, it is possible for consumers to obtain a license for downgrade rights. These downgrade rights will vary depending on whether the software was acquired via Volume Licensing,
    OEM, or FPP. To learn more about these rights, review the
    downgrade rights licensing brief
    . Prior versions of Windows, including Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, have limited support when running on new processors and chipsets from manufacturers like Intel, AMD, NVidia, and Qualcomm.
    For more information, please see the Microsoft Lifecycle FAQ. A device may not be able to run prior versions of Windows if the
    device hardware is incompatible, lacks current drivers, or is otherwise outside of the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) support period.


    Cheers.

    Win 10 downgrade to win 7

    Hello there,

    I recently upgraded my win to 10 but I am not really happy with so I wanted to downgrade it back to 7.

    The whole problem is that the option go back to win 7 doesn't work as system says that files of win 7 were removed.

    i didn't remove anything and win 10 was installed 4 days ago.

    Any solution for that?

  4. Problems in Win 10 after downgrade from Win 11

    DOWNGRADE TO WIN 7 ULTIMATE and UPGRADE TO WIN 10 PRO

    I refer to the following Microsoft Community Team’s query:

    “……Remember that question you asked on
    Microsoft Community
    a few days ago?

    Title:
    DOWNGRADE TO WIN 7 ULTIMATE and UPGRADE TO WIN 10 PRO


    We noticed that the question hasn't been marked as Answered yet and we were wondering if you resolved the issue.

    The issue “DOWNGRADE TO WIN 7 ULTIMATE and UPGRADE TO WIN 10 PRO” is unanswered. The suggestion to refer to the link

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications
    does not answer my query as well. I knew the prerequisites of upgrading to Win 10 from either Win 7 Ultimate or Win 8.1 Home as I have read the min. requirements/machine
    specifications to upgrade directly either from the aforesaid OSes beforehand. The issue is whether from Win 8.1 Home downgrade to Win 7 Ultimate and from thereafter upgrade to Win 10 Pro possible without technicality issues. Nevertheless, since I cannot wait
    for either a reply to the abovementioned issue (or my reservation to upgrade from Win 8.1 Home), I then gathered/downloaded bits and pieces of probable drivers for my machine, formatted my HDD (1TB) for more than 18 hours, clean install Win 7 Ultimate SP1,
    activated using my previously purchased license and ran Windows afterwards, ran updates until repetitive error (around 25 KB updates failed to install many times) popped up during tiresome cyclic updates process. Fed-up with the errors after failed tries to
    source answers from Microsoft Community, I tried my luck by upgrading to Win 10 Pro. After couple of days, viola, I have upgraded to Win 10 Pro finally, whew! Now I am running this machine with Win 10 Pro for a couple of days now, being up to date and running
    very well. Hopefully no problem/s will arise.

    Thank to those suggestions though.
