    Rolling back from Windows 10 to Windows 7


    I was using Windows 7 64 bit a little over a year ago and I wanted to try Windows 10 Upgrade. After I did the upgrade from 7 to 10 two day's later I hated 10 and wanted 7 back. I went into the settings and found the rollback but I could not get it to rollback because it said that I did not have any restore settings. I have searched for eight months now and it still shows I have Windows 7 installed but just the rollback files so I'm stuck. I have over 780 GB's of movies and TV shows only on that hard drive to watch as well as family pictures I am not worried about since I have a second 1TB HHD in my PC but it is full of movies and shows. I cannot install windows 7 on that HDD either because of them and I seen here that you had five day's limit to keep 10 or you could rollback without any problem so what happen to those backup files? I have not deleted any of the files for 7 at all and why did MS say you had five(5) day's when in fact you didn't? I have a cam hooked up also on 10 and it doesn't do or show everything as it did on 7 and when the cam is on you can see who you are talking to but they cannot see you but only your profile picture and it would follow all sounds if you were ten(10) feet away on the side of where the cam is pointing so 10 isn't worth the problems it gives anyone so is there any help as to this and could anyone use a restore point from another PC to copy them in the folder so it would work? I do need 7 back ASAP without losing anything except all Windows 10 files and folders.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

    All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

    As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

    im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed
