Okay, I gave up....done with Windows 10 reinstalled Windows 7

For me, it was as bad as fighting to use this board. We lost all our favorite card games. Husband had a timed game and it was so slow that he couldn't play it.

Tried to make it possible to have a second opening screen for him but it didn't have Outlook Express or Internet Explorer on his page. I had it but he didn't.

Wanted us to use Bing instead of Google. And would toss you to their E browser from any question you gave by voice.

So I'm back where we are comfortable. Maybe later.

I just brought a HP computer on clearance with windows 7 premium and love it! I tried to install on my Toshiba computer windows 10 and all it did was tell me to install over and over again the same updates. I will not do that again. I am going to get windows 7 for my Toshiba too.

Do you mean how hard was it to uninstall Windows 10 and go back to Windows 7? If so, it was very easy. I googled it and was give very easy instructions.

Go to settings, click update and security

Choose Recovery, then get started (click on it)

That's it.

I got itunes back today. I'm so glad because I really didn't want to uninstall. If you decide to install windows 10 before you do it I would recommend that you manually go in and make a restore point. I did read where windows 7 is going to be supported untill at least 2020.

Glad you got your iTunes back!

What i decided to do, along with NOT upgrading my existing computers (I have one Win8.1 and two Win7) to Win10, is to order another computer with 8.1 before the prices go up on that OS.

I can deal with 8.1, because I install 'classic shell' so that it looks and operates like Win7. But I have this weird, sneaking, feeling that Win10 may not be for me - at least not right out of the gate.

My only other issue with Win8/8.1 is that they took away the Windows games that were on all my computers up through Win7. I play solitaire. But I was fortunate to find out how to get those games added back onto the new computers. I wonder if they are back with Win10. I really missed my solitaire until I was able to get it back.

The games are not including in Window 10 for free. You maybe able to buy games at the Microsoft store as an app.

Many of us play games on a smartphone or a tablet.

When microsoft offered the windows 10 os I never it would be so microsoft oriented in taking off at least for me everything non mircrosoft and I really didn't have that much stuff mainly itunes and google chrome. My computer works fine but I had windows 7 and now that I have 10 I don't get the big deal about it and would grade 7 as the better of the two.

Good to know. Thank You!

I don't use a smartphone and, what with my arthritis, I couldn't even do the thumb-typing thing anyway. I suppose I'm in the minority, however, and certainly not in the targeted market for these items so I do get that.

Thankfully, I saved the 'how to add the Win7 games' instruction on one computer and I have the file saved on an external so it takes a hot minute to just add them.

Thank you for instructions on how to get rid of this Windows 10 mess......what the "H" is OneNote......my work e-mail is on gmail (I know, I hate it, too) and I tried to print something off of it and OneNote kept popping up.....my printer works on my Outlook mail and anything else I print, but I couldn't get anything to print off of my gmail......very frustrating. I'm no expert, but when I bought this pc with Windows 8, I had no problem setting this up including buying my own modem and going wireless, but OneNote makes me crazy.....I'm going back to 8.....

SUCCESS.....back to my 8.1. The only issue I had was reconnecting my WiFi modem.....needed the security code....luckily, I saved every bit of that info from when I installed it the first time and documented well what every single # was..........hopefully, I'm back to normal.....next computer will be a MAC!

Unless it comes with the computer [windows 10] I will not upgrade. I do not need all this new technogy . As I posted before I just ordered windows 7, installed both my Toshiba and HP laptops which both had 8.1 and they both work fine. I will never buy another windows product again.. I did try to update to win10 but, it would not load all it did was spin for hours on end. What a nightmare!
