Switching back to Windows 7

[SUPER_MOOSE93]

A few months ago Windows 10 thrust itself upon my gaming rig and I really don't like it. 

 

How do I go about uninstalling Windows 10 and re-installing Windows 7 from a disc?

Clear hard drive and install windows 7 again?

What is it that you dislike about 10 that makes you want to go back?

probably everyone says it's rubbish and that it spies on you so everyone goes into it with a cynical view.

Back up all the of the files that you want to keep, and then move them to a separate drive, or online storage.

 

Then, download a Windows 7 ISO for the edition of your Windows 7 license, burn it to a DVD, then restart your PC with the DVD in the drive, and keep pressing F8 as the PC boots up to make the boot menu appear, and when it does, select the DVD drive with the Windows 7 disc in it to boot from. The Windows 7 installer will load from there.

 

You can download a Windows 7 ISO from many sources, including from this blog post:

Sheeple lmao
Couldn't imagine going back to 7 after using everything above it, though I was a fan of 8 to begin with.

I enjoyed windows 8. Even though it wasn't such a success Mircosoft at least tried to change the system rather than keep the same old menu.

No, just people who recognize that Windows 10 is an inferior production, with inferior user control, inferior layout design, inferior reliability, and invasive data-collection.

 

Maybe your memory of 7 isn't accurate, because it does everything that 10 does, just better, more direct, and with less resistance and opposition from the OS (and without any of Windows 10's many technical issues).

 

Here are my views, from my experiences with 7 and 10:

I can't find anything on it. In terms of files and programs. 

 

I am just more familiar with Windows 7 and find it much easier to navigate, I was never interested in Windows 10
