Tech News: How to Downgrade Windows 10 to Windows 7
With Windows 10 out for the public to try and scrutinize, a lot of consumers have commented that they prefer their previous operating system better as the new OS seems to be much more complicated.
The complaints have been expected by some critics even before Windows 10 arrived. Obviously, some people are already used to the convenience and user-friendliness of Windows 7, making some regret ever trying out the latest OS. On the other hand, some users find the latest OS working well for them.
For those who have recently installed the OS, it is easier to downgrade. Visit the Recovery Menu and select Go back to Windows 7 or 8.1 — simple as that. It should do it, but this process is only for users who have installed Windows 10 within the month.

Before doing so, the experts recommend that users make up their minds once they install the OS since the option to go back to Windows 7 or 8.1 will only be in the Recovery Menu within a month from installation day.
Changing operating systems is a serious matter, and if not done correctly, a lot of data may be lost. One of the most important things to remember before downgrading is to back up all the data on one's PC — those that are supposed to be kept. There a lot of external hard drives, as well as online cloud storage, that can keep information and data safe before the OS is changed.
Also, consumers should remember to sign out of any user accounts in Windows 10 that were added upon installation. The user accounts need to be removed from the main account, or else it would be impossible to downgrade.
Finally, for those who have installed Windows 10 for over a month, it isn't so much of a hassle to get rid of the complicated OS, too. Windows 7 can always been reinstalled from scratch again.
