W10 simply wont allow itself to be uninstalled
Hi Lap top got W10 and it isnt used often but drains the battery and loath the system and want to re-install W7.
So looked for format. then went to M$ and they seem to have made it difficult to return now as a lot of stuff has vanished off their web site re how to format the HD and reinstall or install a new version of windows etc.
So decided to crash it. Inserted the new disc with 64 bit version W7 Home and it went through and started to load usual windows opening ----------------then suddenly a black screen similar to command opened and lots of flashing lines and grabbed one orphaned files and next thing it started up W10.
So does that mean we can never ever go back once the W10 has seized control of the computer we paid our own money for and own? Plus we buy their OS discs. Bit rich
Means we have lost control - also batter keeps being used whilst turned off mains, and boot and it is low or drained. someone said M$ can update whilst turned off and this is reason. Spooky just another reason to stick with W7 as I have on this machine and intend to til it runs out in 3 years or so.
I am sure there used to be a format when one googled to use but cant find that either.
