    Upgraded from Win 7 but want to uninstall


    I've just upgraded from windows 7 to win 10 but have decided its not for me.
    How can I uninstall windows 10 and then use my Acronis Backup of win 7 or is it just a case of restoring the backup to the C: drive?

    :)

    Uninstall Win 7 upgrade

    I recently upgraded one of my Xp rigs to Win 7, and i did a clean install [custom install > full] but gave me an option to install Win 7 on my secondary HDD which i did, but now i just want to go back XP since i don't really need win 7 on that rig. Weird thing is that when i boot [from my XP HDD, as selected by BIOS] I get the option to choose either OS, even though the Win 7 OS is on the other HDD.

    Quick question:
    How could I uninstall Win 7 from my secondary HDD, without affecting my primary HDD, since [i think] some of the Boot files of Win 7 are on my Primary [XP] HDD.


    -New to 2 OS'es on one machine *Eek! Upgraded from Win 7 but want to uninstall :eek:

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???

    Upgraded from Win 7 but want to uninstall

    Recommend hardware changes for upgrading from Win-7 to Win-10

    Bree
    I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

    Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

    I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
    Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
    Thanks for any help
