Did you or your computer “upgrade” or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 recently, and you want your old OS back? Then this is what to do.

 

Windows-10-Rollback

 

If it's been less than a month since you upgraded to 10, you can go back to your previous version of Windows by going to Settings > Update & security > and selecting either Go back to or Go back to .1. This won't affect your personal , but it will remove any you installed after the to .

If it's been more than a month, this option won't be available in Settings and you'll need to use a different recovery option.

Once rolled back, you are going to want to make sure Windows 10 does not keep trying to upgrade to Windows 10, so follow these instructions.

    The update above has a slight problem where people complain it keeps reinstalling itself. It’s not really reinstalling by itself, it’s just that this update has several versions that may be installed on your PC.
    I read at other sites that this update could be installed on your PC multiple times in several different versions and had elaborate code to uninstall them but all you need to do is written below.
    Run the above CMD code over and over until you get a message saying it can’t find it.
    I needed to run it 4-5 times, you don’t need to know the version numbers. This one CMD removes 1 version at a time until it can’t find any. You would think it would remove every version with 1 CMD but NOOOO !

    rolling back from windows 10 to windows 7 is very problematic. i know from first hand and other user who got “tricked” into installing 10, trying to roll back to windows 7 bricked my laptop. very expensive reimage from the server luckily. i have done Windows 10 upgrades on a number of +5 yr old windows 7 machines without a problem. i just had to install the windows 8.1 drivers if they didnt have Win 10 drivers available from the manufacturers.
