Now that
Microsoft is forcibly downloading Windows 10 onto unsuspecting Windows 7 and 8.1
users’ PCs there’s
going to be a lot of unhappy customers faced with a new OS they never asked for
nor wanted.
You can prevent
this from happening by making sure the "Recommended Update" setting is unchecked on your PC,
but if you fail to do this and accidentally allow the installation to go ahead
(or maybe you tried Windows 10 and didn’t like it), the good news is it’s easy
to roll things back to your original operating system.
Once the
installation has completed you have 30 days to change your mind and go back to
Windows 7 or 8.1.
All you need to
do is click Start and launch Settings. Go to Update and Security and
clickRecovery on the left. You’ll see the option to Go back to
Windows 7 or Go back to Windows 8.1 (depending on which version
of Windows you had before). Click on Get Started and follow the
instructions.
Windows 10 is
actually a decent operating system, so if you have actually installed it, I’d
recommend at least giving it a good go before rejecting it out of hand. You do
have a month in which make up your mind, and you can roll the OS back at any
point within that time frame.
