    Upgraded to W10 from W7 and now want to rollback to W7.


    Is it possible?

    I hope so.

    Why do you want to roll back? honestly if you can stay on 10 you should.

    Even though a rollback option is available for "some time" (an arbitrary limitation) the best option would be to simply reformat and reinstall 7 from scratch so you have a sane system again. You cannot trust entirely that the system would be rolled back at the very same state it was after a major upgrade like that.

    Out of topic, the inverse is also true. For changing from Win7 to Win10 a clean install is also preferable, giving a pristine Win10 system without any Win7 leftover that won't do you any good.

    Even though asking the reasons behind such a move is good for some background, I'm puzzled why one should stay in a non-prefered environment, even if the reasons against it are strong enough.

    I've been running these sites long enough to see the the trouble running an out of date OS can cause a user in the long run with browsers, AV and other software stopping supporting it, the smart move, if you can is upgrade and save the headaches.

    I'm guessing Mike made the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 within the last 5 days.

    Am I being scammed by Spectrum and or Microsoft?
