Windows 10: how to return to windows 7 or 8 step by step

As it is well known, Microsoft has the goal that more than 1, 000 million users will switch to Windows 10 in the coming years and for this it has been using a series of "tactics" of the most doubtful for this to happen, such as pop-ups asking if you really want to update or directly downloading the full installation of Windows 10 to your computer without our consent.

In recent weeks Microsoft has used a method of deceptive popup advertising, where we are asked if we want to update to Windows 10, if we click on the X to close the window, that counts as a consent that we agree and the installation begins. Although the update to the Windows 10 operating system is free until July 29, not everyone wants to do it due to the problems that may arise.

For those Windows 7 and Windows 8 users who have inadvertently upgraded to Windows 10 or who just aren't too convinced by the new system, there is a way to go back to their previous operating system.

Reverting to a previous operating system will be enabled for 30 days in Windows 10

Recovery from our previous operating system will be enabled for 30 days and is found in Settings> Update and security> Recovery, once there the legend will be shown (usually the second option) "Return to Windows 8" or the system previous operation that you have installed, right there we are warned that the option will be enabled for 30 days.

When we click on the "Introduction" button, the system will show us a series of windows in blue, we must give everything to next until we find the last window.

Then we simply have to wait a few minutes for our previous system to be completely restored. If you want to prevent Windows 10 pop-ups from continuing to appear on your Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating system, there is a free tool called GWX Control Panel that is highly recommended.
