you can only do this if you've had windows 10 for less than a month.
Steps:
1. go to Settings
2. go to Update and Security
3. go to recovery tab
4. you will see something saying "Go back to using Windows 7" or "Go back to using Windows 8.1".
5. Click the "Get started" button below it.
6. you will be asked a few reasons of why you are switching back. enter whatever you want and click "Next"
7. you will be told what you need to know about switching back. click "Next"
8. you will see a message of Microsoft thanking you for trying windows 10. Click "Go back to previous Windows"
9. Your PC will restart. Once you restart you will see a message saying "Restoring your previous version of Windows..." Don't touch your PC while it is saying this! This can take from 2 minutes to 5 hours, depending on the speed of your PC.
10. When it's done, your PC will restart again. You will then be greeted by the startup screen of your previous version of Windows.
11. If you're able to get to the desktop, then it worked.
if you've had windows 10 for more than a month, you're out of luck (although you're welcome to see if you still have the option) |
