Going Back To Windows 7

[Grimers]

Hi everyone,

I posted a while back in this thread asking about a problem with regards to Google Chrome on Windows 7. I went back to Windows 10, but really like Windows 7. Is there really any problem in me downgrading to Windows 7 from Windows 10?

Thanks,

William

Yeah... But, anyway, I think it looks very different! Do you have a problem with this thread?

no need to be aggressive, so far your reasons for rolling back seem somewhat, to be blunt 'made up', so will rolling back actually give you want you want? If won't make it more stable, win10 is perfectly stable, win 7 will stop getting updates soon if not already, generally this would reduce stability and certainly security, it won't actually look any different, so what are you really going to all this effort for? Do you actually have an underlying hardware problem that you need resolving? Since you won't tell us why you actually want to this other than vague terms that you've not really clarified or backed up then we can't help whatever the underlying issue is.

Blimey, you're a moderator?! I wasn't being aggressive at all, just asked you a question! Anyway, Windows 7 is more up-to-date than 10 and will receive many more updates over the next few years. Also, there's a possibility of extended support for users who prefer the way Windows 7 looks and performs compared to 10.

Well as a break/fix tech support (as yourself) you always have to ask why? When someone wants to make a change, you want to ask why? If someone wants to build a mahcine that has an 1080Ti, i7-7700, and 64GB, yet all they are going to play is the Soliatire and a few free2play games, then they would have wasted money because "it seem better." But by asking why, you can kinda get a better idea, and make recommendations. No one is tellling him NOT to go back to Windows 7, just want to get a better understanding so he can make the best decision possible.

That's just my three cents.

I don't mind explaining, but I just wanted a change and missed Windows 7's look and high performance compared to 10. Yes, I have a good PC, but it's quite old now (built in December 2010).

Yes its possible, My father did it with a USB boot
