How to Downgrade a Toshiba Windows 10 to a Windows 7?

[nocterum]

How do I downgrade to Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop currently running windows 10, but originally ran windows 8.1? When I went to look under drivers, my serial number listed windows 7 as one of the OS to choose from.

why do you wanna downgrade? Windows 10 might be the better OS

Which Toshiba model is it? Please post the complete model number from the label at the bottom of it.

then get a windows 7 cd, pop it in, delete partition and install windows 7 on, then perform 198 updates, then another 43, then Sp1, then 127 more updates and then you will be done, reinstall your application you used, and don't forget you will not be supported in the near future for any security updates.

Keep in mind that windows 7 is not supported anymore on 14 januari 2020. Then you will have to upgrade to 10 again (since 8 is just a poor experience on desktop anyways).

Overall 10 is better nowadays then 7.

id be fine with 10 if i could uninstall all the pointless programs like xbox 360, as well as a bunch of other programs i dont need that take up space. if anyone has any advice on how to make windows 10 less shitty id happily stick with 10.

you can turn off services you don't want to load(1), and prevent applications from starting up at boot(2) easily enough, you can even run a shut-up windows 10 that will turns off all the telemetry from running(3).

(1) click on start, run, type "services.msc" and be careful turning off the application (right click on service and set it to off and not auto)

(2) get CCleaner, runs it, click on tools, and startup, highlight what programs you don't want to run, and select disable. that way if you realize later you need it you can reverse it to enable.

(3) get oosu10 "O&O ShutUp10: download free antispy tool for Windows 10" run it accept suggested changes and voila. , if your meticulous you can go down the list of things you can turn off, but understand some things like search and Cortana for example are connected so when you turn off Cortana search is crippled. but the program will warn you as you choose options.

reboot and enjoy.
