rollback to windows 7 from 10

[BondoBen]

Loaned Dell Latitude 6430 to sister and she updated it to windows 10. Three years ago. I bought the laptop used because it had 7 pro 64 bit from Dell and need it that way to properly run a program. I have no disks or otherwise. I need this laptop for one thing. How would one go to rollback to 7? Successfully. Everything is original from Dell. Need help. I thank you.

Thanks Torchwood. Tried the link and download for that remedy but the site no longer provides 7.....at least on a regular basis. If memory serves there was a pop-up about try later or not at this time.

G13K9_PW4KGA00_W7SP1PRO64_ROW(DL).iso is the dell recovery iso

The iso can easily be found on the internet or downloaded using heidoc windows iso downloader

What is the exact 7-character "service tag" number on it?

I've just tried it and it worked fine for me.

Hi

depending upon which download you select, there are different "options
Heidoc only have LIMITED download >>values per month<<

The Dell one is likely to last longer, as i said before because it includes the bloatware, ie Dell specific
However the bonus is that it includes
1) the OEM activation files
2) its more upto date


notes
that HDD is a bit to small
i'd opt for the 64bit option, you've plenty of RAM..... provided your system specs are correct
and DONT run 2 AV's

Windows 10 back to 7

First thing I would say is THANK YOU. I appreciate your time and consideration. I ended up downloading a copy of Windows 7 32 from Archive.org. Took the HDD out and placed into a remote container connected to my other laptop. Wiped the middle partition and installed Windows 7 that way. So far it works as it should. Fingers crossed. Again.......thank you.

The Heidoc tool is finding it increasingly difficult to get the Windows 7 downloads from Microsoft, MS seem to be trying to block them. The Windows 7 (August 2018) ones are the only reliably available ones now.

However, it can also provide download links direct from Dell for most of the Dell OEM image ISO's, yours included (both 32 bit and 64 bit are available for your E6430). These Dell download links all work without problems.
