Is this a bug?

[Mr RamNoob]

Hi peeps,
Windows 10 isn't really ready for my system yet and I have chosen the option to revert back to Windows 7. So I've started the operation about 2 hours ago and all that is happening is it first boots up my system then shows the Windows 10 logo then it goes to a screen with text saying "Restoring your previous version of Windows". It has done this about 4-5 times already (which I think is normal) but after a few more reboots I noticed a blank window flash onto the screen then disappear followed by a flash of text "Attempting to recover installation" then it goes to "Restoring your previous version of windows". This has been going on for 2 hours and I'm getting worried, I'm willing to lose files/data as I don't have anything important on it I just want to know if this will end.

Thank you in advance.

5+ reboots seems excessive. If I were to guess, I would say something messed up.

If it doesn't stop, you may need to start fresh with a clean install of 10 (which really may address your issues with that OS), or 7.

Lets hope it works however...

Although it keeps going back to that same screen after a force restart.

I'm not sure if you would be able to recover if you booted from your Windows 7 media, and attempted to recover that way, I'm betting Windows 10 stuff will confuse the heck out of Windows 7 recovery.

But it may be worth the try depending on how important your data is...

Personally, after an issue like that, I would strongly advise a clean install, there is no telling what Windows has done to itself.

Ok, thanks for your help.
