    Windows 10 is not working for my 2012 laptop but I can't go back to Windows 7


    My laptop has not handled Windows 10 well (probably because it's not a tablet) I don't have the means to purchase a brand new computer either. I have tried to go back to Windows 7, even though I switched because support for Win7 is ending at the end of this year (2019), but it tells me it is too late to switch back now. I have tried very hard to make this work for my laptop but as a digital art student I need an OS that works with my drawing tablet (Parblo A640/Coast10). The OS screws up my screen proportions and it throws off my tablet calibrations to the point of them being unusable.


    Can I go back to Windows 7 without being at risk of viruses?

    Or can I maybe switch to Windows 8?

    OR even better, can I find a way to make Windows 10 work for my drawing tablets??


    I have a ton of art programs installed on my laptop and want to avoid a factory restore if possible.


    Anything I can do?

    :)

  2. 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 is not working for my 2012 laptop but I can't go back to Windows 7

    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
