If you do not see that option, this means that you will need to do a manual downgrade – see instructions below.

Look for the option to “Go back to Windows 7/8”, and click on “Get Started” to begin the process.

Open Start Menu, and select “Settings” (top-left).

Using Windows 10 built-in downgrade (inside the 30-day window)

Once Windows 7 or Windows 8 is installed, and you have a clean OS installation, proceed to the “Recovering your programs, settings and files” section.

Once you have your backup, install Windows 7 or Windows 8 on the machine.

Store that container somewhere off the Windows 10 – for example, on an external USB drive or on a network share. This will create a single container file that has all the programs and files from your original Windows 10.

If you are using the Migration Kit Pro, then to perform a fully restorable backup, use its Moving from Machine to Container scenario.

Make sure you have a backup before you start, either with the Migration Kit Pro (which allows to restore programs, files and everything else) or with any other backup.

Performing a manual downgrade means that you simply install a fresh Windows 7 or Windows 8, just as you would on any other machine.

If your Windows 10 was pre-installed on the computer, or if it has been more than 30 days since the upgrade, you will have to do the Windows install manually.

If your current Windows 10 was an upgrade from an older Windows, and it has been less than 30 days since the upgrade, you can use the Windows 10’s built-in roll-back feature.

Once you have your backup, it’s time to perform the actual downgrade. Alternatively, you can also use any 3rd party backup product that can perform a full system image backup, although that would only allow you to restore files, not programs. We recommend using the Migration Kit Pro, which allows to easily back up, and most importantly easily restore programs, settings and files after the downgrade (even though it will be a different Windows version). After the downgrade, your programs and data will be gone, and you will need to restore them to get back to normal. The first step in a major install like this is to back up everything you’ve got. If you are unhappy with Windows 10, and prefer to get back to Windows 7 or Windows 8, this tutorial will help you do that, and most importantly – help you preserve all your stuff in the process, including your programs, profile, settings, documents, pictures, music, movies, favorites, wallpaper and everything else. In this article, we will see how to perform a Windows 10 downgrade, without losing your stuff – even if more than 30 days have passed after the original upgrade.
