    Reverted From Win10 to Win7, Can't Login


    I have an Alienware 14 laptop and accidentally reset it using Alienware Respawn.

    My laptop has been using Windows 10 since the free release, prior to that, Windows 7. Upon reset, it booted up to Windows 7, but I cannot login due to the 'remote procedure call' failing or the 'RPC server' being unavailable. It does not allow me to change the account passwords of the two accounts presented upon startup. The computer also seems to crash and restart randomly.

    This means I cannot access any of my data, which I went through the process of saving specific portions. I need to restore Windows 10 without logging in, otherwise my laptop is usuable.


    Thanks

    Kaz

    revert to Win7 from Win10?

    I have tried the other methods here, and I'm getting tired0 of Bluescreens, and system crashes that have a stop code 'Unknown Error'. My laptop hardware is NOT compatible with Win10.

    A list of methods I have tried.

    "Restore to Factory" All this accomplished was my computer removing all my files, and rebooting to Win10 as soon as the 'important updates' were done.

    "Buying and installing Win7 from disk." Another failure, as I woke up one morning and had been 'upgraded' to Win10 over night (despite turning OFF auto-updates and going through the ****-maze that was opting out of the upgrade)

    "Uninstall Win10, and reinstall using factory code" this got the same result as the first two, first time the laptop updated, I was booting it up to 'Welcome to Windows 10'

    I paid 300 for a Microsoft approved technician to reinstall Win7, laptop came back with, you guessed it, Windows 10!

    I don't have the money for a new laptop, and my current one works perfectly with Win7. I am NOT payig another 120 bcuks for the Win7 OS just to have it auto upgrade despite my attempts to prevent it. Would like to revert to Win7, but if there is no way to
    do this without selling an organ (I live on disability people, my only other income is the work I do with my laptop, you are literally running me out of house and home by having my computer bluescreen every 20 minutes) I will simply call it loss, and have
    my friend install Linux, and simply muddle way into programming what I need.

    Usually a big fan of the Windows OS, but 10 is horrible, and requires a graphics card that wont fit in my laptop.

    start button behavior win7 vs. win10


    • in win7, pushing the start button and typing would bring up (immediately) a list of hits among the installed programs.
    • in win10, doing the above retrieves search results from the internet (with some latency), and only then brings up any installed programs (with even more latency).

    Is there a way to make Win10 revert to Win7 behavior in this respect?
