Windows 10?

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Installed in yesterday on my main PC as i know it can be rolled back within the month, i found after the initial install it was very stuttery and slow but that might be just the initial install/updating going in the background, will give it a week if that stays the same i shall mostly be rolling it back to win 7 pro and leaving it be ;-)

So there is an option to go back to Win 7 then? Is that a time limited option (you say a month)?

I have just found out my Epson scanner won't work it is an all-in-one, printer works OK, so I thought I would go back to windows 7 this came up I HATE MS AND BLOODY WINDOWS 10

NOT BY ME NOW I'M STUCK WITH IT

Tried it yesterday, load of rubbish. Luckily it rolled back to 7 OK, unless it is a 'make my windows look like an earlier version' con.

Mine was a bit like that to begin with but it settled down after a few days.

Check to see if you have a windows.old folder.

If so you should also have a system restore point that should be accessible

Also, stick your product details in this

Epson will tell you if it's compatible, and should have updated drivers if so.

I forgot to check mine so just looked it up. Mine is compatible but if the worst came to the worst it supports Google Cloud Print and can scan to Dropbox and Google Drive so I'm not too worried.

Thanks for that, but my printer/scanner is not listed yet is in only 5 years old, but I suppose that is old in computer terms. I have a phone number at Epson UK on Monday to see if they can help.

I had a look at “system restore”, but it is not on windows 10,well I can't find it all there is the recovery and tha's not working, I think my best bet is to buy a copy of windows 7 and start again.

If you hit windows key and start typing

System Restore

It will come up with "Create a system restore point", you can click that. it opens the part of control panel where you can go to "System Restore"

You've got a month from installing 10 to roll back to 7. I managed it so it can't be that difficult to do.

I rolled the awful thing back, and it had wrecked my original set-up for many of my programmes, put locked symbols on all the desktop icons, and done several other nasties.

I've rarely* been so pleased I'd taken a disk image with Acronis TI before I started something. All restored and working again on Windows 7. I see that Windows 7 gets security support until January 2020, by which time this laptop will probably have worn out anyway.

The other one has Linux on it, and if MS haven't sorted out something better than Win10 that's the way I'll go for the future.
