Hi everyone,
I have a laptop that was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Unfortunately something went wrong because the option to go back to Windows 7 is not available
The reason given is "The folders were deleted from this PC"
This is a pain as it now means backing up all user data, then reinstalling Windows 7 clean which means even more work installing the laptop drivers and also the programs that were installed would be gone
However a glimmer of hope, I found a Windows backup Image admittedly from 2012 but it would allow a image of the the laptop at that time to be loaded and if I make a back up of all the current data I could simply put that data back in the users profile and everything would be as close to as it was before Windows 10 installed
Can anyone see any issues with what I plan and even if it makes sense
thank you
