(Options after logging in as a normal user)įirst I thought, it has something to do with the missing space during upgrade. But to my surprise, there has been no option to rollback offered. After invoking the Settings app via start menu, I navigated to Update & Security – Recovery. No rollback option after upgrade from Windows 8.1?Īfter login I tried to invoke the rollback features provided in Windows 10. During upgrade I was running in low disk space and was forced to name a 2nd drive, where copies of the OS files has to be temporary stored. So I was forced to restore a system backup to go back to the old system.Īnd the convertible, that has been upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, suffers from a lack of free space. The Windows 7 machine shows all desktop shortcuts with a lock, after downgrading from Windows 10.
My plan was to activate Windows 10 and revert to the previous Windows version afterward – my intention is, to use Windows 7 SP1 for my production machine till January 2020 – and the Windows 8.1 convertible till the OS support ends (I still have enough Windows 10 test machines).īut those upgrades ended in disasters. Therefore I decided a few days ago to upgrade a Windows 7 SP1 desktop machine and a Windows 8.1 convertible to Windows 10. To cut a long story short, free upgrade from Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 ends at July 29, 2016.
