Settings>Update and security>Recovery and choose Go back to windows 7/8.1. If you are within 30 days of your update, just navigate to: This is part of Microsoft’s big push to get as many Windows 10 users as possible. After 30 days, big brother Microsoft reaches into your computer and deletes that backup so you can no longer easily revert. They continue that tradition with the update to Windows 10. You have only 30 days from the date of your upgrade to revert back to your previous operating system version.ĭuring the upgrade to a new version of Windows, Microsoft has always created a folder called windows.old that holds your old operating system and personal files. Fortunately, this is fairly easy to do with one large caveat: After the Windows 10 update, Microsoft gives you the ability to revert back to Windows 7 or Windows 8 for a limited amount of time.
They long to revert to their old operating system. There are, however, some who for whatever reason, hate Windows 10 and almost immediately regret upgrading. In fact, this rollback feature could make developers even more complacent since they have something to fall back on when, not if, things go awry.The majority of people who have upgraded to Windows 10 want to keep it. Microsoft’s software development practices have been reported to be sub-par and ill-equipped to meet this faster iteration process. While welcome, it is a temporary fix to what may be a more pressing and deeper problem. Users can still opt to manually install the update if they really want to. Microsoft will then prevent the update from being installed within 30 days as it tries to address the problem. According to this new document, Windows 10 will have the ability to uninstall updates should they cause the system not to startup properly, even is safe mode or after recovery attempts. Windows Latest came across a support page that, strangely, isn’t easily discoverable even with Web search engines. Microsoft isn’t changing its pattern but is applying yet another band-aid fix. And because they’re mandatory, those updates get installed sooner or later. From the biggest bi-annual Windows 10 feature update to even some occasional patches, updates have been known to break things as much as fix them, inspiring dread whenever users see updates downloading in the background. Unfortunately, Microsoft also swung to the other extreme and have made its own updates the problem rather than the solution. By making updates mandatory and incremental, Microsoft shortened the waiting period and as well as the window of opportunity for exploits to take root. With its new Windows as a Service mantra, Microsoft is trying to address one of the biggest criticisms of Windows, the slow pace of rolling out critical security updates and bug fixes.
