How to revert back windows 7 from Windows 10?

[remostalin]

Windows 10 completely I'm not satisfied.
So I'm going to install windows 7.
I don't have windows.old file and I have been using 2 years windows 10 but not satisfied.
The problem is do I delete C: folder and system file only or all disk parts are able to install?
I have data in D: drive and I don't have enough space in usb drive and don't have portable hard disk.
Waiting for your reply.

On Tenforums you said you don't have a Win 7 license. You can't install Win 7 without a license as it will not activate.

To change from Win 10 to win 7 you will have to clean the win 10 disk partitions so you should have a external disk to do a backup that seems you also don't have.

You could try this if you like. From boot media create a folder and call it something like oldstuff. Then Move any files and folders you want to keep into that folder. You could also Move all the existing windows namespace folders into that if you have enough space.

Then install windows 7 without formatting the partition.


I do this often. That way you can have several windows installations on one partition and switch back and forth by just Moving the windows namespace folders from the root into the oldstuff folder and vice versa.

Why are you not satisfied with Win10? Be explicit.

I was a die-hard Win7 adherent but recently updated to Win10, and installed ClassicShell/OpenShell to make Win10 'look' like Win7. It gets pretty close. The differences are pretty minor.

Before wiping your Win10 I would recommend you try this approach. Install OpenShell.

Going back to Win7 after running Win10 for two years is going to be really painful for you. Basically will amount to a system wipe and full reinstall, assuming you have all the Win7 disks you will require.
