    I followed the directions to downgrade back to Windows 8.1 on my laptop, and it has been 7 hours, and my cursor is still circling on my desktop. I can’ t go anywhere and am apparently offline. I rebooted and the same screen came up. I don’t know what to do.

    Fantastic guide. I personally used this tutorial on doing the downgrade without losing any programs / files. It works after 30 days, too:

    Hope this helps!

      did you figure this out? I’m having the same trouble. The required apps/software on my laptop doesn’t work with Windows 10. I want to downgrade to Windows 8, but I don’t have Windows 8 installer.

    Bought a Dell Laptop with Windows 10, but my (Canon LiDE 220) scanner DOES NOT work on this new version of Windows…

    Can I downgrade to an earlier Windows that my scanner is compatible with (Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, etc)?

    Do these steps work for a computer that has Windows 10 already PRE-INSTALLED on the system? I’m noticing this seems to be the steps taken for someone who has had Windows 7/8/8.1 to begin with and then has upgraded FROM that. I’m talking about someone who has bought a computer that has, from factory settings, Windows 10.

      In this case you have to buy new windows 7, 8, or which ever you like. There is no option for downgrading with the pre installed window 10.

    Hello,
    I downgraded windows 10 because it is shit to my previous system and my computer does not work anymore! I have a blue screen and written on it that they are trying to “repair” the system” (sorry for bad English, I’m French). It also seems it tried to downgrade to windows 7… while I had actually windows XP. It also seems that that the computer lose data of the system windows XP. I am not very good with computers but… what could I do? I can’t use my computer anymore and I have personal and professional data on it! Help !! 🙂 (Thanks)

    I have a new Windows 10 Laptop. I would like to change the operating system to Windows Vista Home premium 32 bit. My reason is I have a Cad program that will not work beyond this version of windows and a new program is around $3500.

    Can this be done
