Can Windows 7 be reinstalled after Windows 10
My wife's Toshiba laptop originally came with Windows 7 but when the opportunity came to get 10 free of charge she just had to have it. She downloaded and installed the new OS and almost immediately started having trouble. She said she felt like it was a learning curve so I left it alone.
Now after all this time has passed since the free roll back expired she has decided it is causing computer problems and would like to have 7 back. I refrained from saying I told you so, you know, happy wife, happy life. So my question is can Windows 7 be reinstalled over the top of 10 without having to format the hard drive and start over. I have a virgin copy of 7 professional and could certainly use that if it is possible. I can only suppose I could roll the computer back to factory specs with the built in restore drive but that would mean having to save all the documents and email and anything else that would be lost, not to mention the need to reinstall all the programs.
Any advice would be appreciated at this point.
Thanks,
Clyde
