I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit. In my CP I have items that still relate to 7. Is there anyway to remove them?


I don't think that is a left over from win 7

my machine was upgraded from 8.1, never seen 7 on it, I have that item also

as for removing them, I am not sure

I still have it after a clean install. As for removing it.. why? Just don't use it. You might cause more harm trying to remove it than it's worth.

Thanks Guys, I figured out how to remove but I will just leave well enough alone. Maybe this SR1 will fix it..

Just out of.. well curiosity.. but why is that an issue? Or something you think shouldn't be there?

Its not a left over from Windows 7 as such. MS have left it in there for compatibility with 7. By the way, you can still use it to create drive images etc.

SR1 won't "fix" it since it isn't a flaw. MS put it there on purpose as can be seen by its presence in clean Win10 installs and its utility in Win10.

Why the hell would you want to remove it? I don't understand.

If so it does not work, when I click on it nothing happens @BunnyJ that is why I wanted to remove it.

I do not use it, I use Macrium Reflect which is a better backup and restore than the built in one. I can restore an image in less than a minute.

In case there is some confusion here I only wanted to remove the two items that are arrowed.
