Hey
So I did a clean install of windows 10 because my computer was running slow, but now I would like to downgrade back to windows and I don't have the "windows.old" because of the clean install.
Could someone please help me figure out a way to downgrade to my old windows 7.
Thanks in advance
Did you ever create the recovery disc set for Windows 7?
Did you create a image backup of Windows 7 before upgrading to Windows 10?
If neither of these you are going to have to find a ISO download for the version of Windows 7 you had on the internet as there are no official Microsoft sites for this nay more. The first part of this tutorial discusses all the possible ways to do this:
How to Clean Reinstall a Factory OEM Windows 7
There is also a possibility that you can use the built-in recovery partition to restore to factory state by pressing a Fn key during boot. Not sure which one the tablet uses though.
You need to download the media for your old version of windows and then you need to install that, If you have your licence key your cool if not you need to purchase a new key.Hey
