Windows 10: Reinstalling WINDOWS 7.

To Anyone Knowledgeable:




I recently required some technical assistance for a reinstallation of my OPS, and decided to go with WINDOWS 10. However, it is total garbage for the following reasons: 1 my printer EPSON WP-4590 software will not load properly; 2 the Videos I have on a separate hard drive do not display “Originals” after editing so I may remove them; 3 the asinine “apps” that WINDOWS 10 has made me nuts; 4 I discovered that I have a “Standard User” option available in “User Accounts” which is what I prefer but it won’t allow me to change it; and 5 now when I want to open "Internet Explorer" it informs me that it no longer functions so how did I get here?. I am not at all concerned about “Security Updates” stopping with WINDOWS 7, for I have decent software which covers me. If someone could explain how I may reinstall WINDOWS 7 over WINDOWS 10, particularly as a "Standard User," I would be most grateful for the information.





Respectfully yours,

Change motherboards without reinstalling Windows 7!

Don't even need to go through all those steps. Once you got into safe mode,windows 7 will rebuild it's drivers automatically. Boot normally and then install chipset drivers if not already in.

Edit:
One thing though, it gets hectic with RAID and you will NEED to reinstall/rebuild the array. Only circumstance where you will find driver conflicts.

Edit2:

Reinstalling windows 7

Hey guys I got a new xfi soundcard yesterday and was having a few issues which i feel are software related so i decided to reinstall windows 7. I've done this numerous times on this computer. When I go to install it tells me once i click 'install now' and before i select my drives etc that i need a cd/dvd driver, flash drive, etc and tells me i can remove my installation media during this step. WTF? The ONLY thing that i can think of that's changed is my new sound card. I made sure no flash drives were attached and even unhook my BT dongle for good measure. The disc is in good shape and like I said I've used it many time without issues. Any thoughts?

He is right here, Windows 7 does a fantastic job of dealing with that and it's about time!

Also a good point, have a backup or be comfortable doing it.
I am yet to have an issue doing it, even with a raid *as long as it was Intel to Intel* with windows 7.
