It doesn't matter what windows version was used before as it is the users preference. Anyone can wipe any pc with the version they want. It is usually the motherboard and how it was built that does not allow older windows versions. My old motherboard was suppose to use only w10 but a few hacks later w7 worked awesome. The newer high end motherboards only allow w10. No hacks yet for w7 for them. I do believe that motherboard you have will support w7 without any issues. john tams 1

I made my decision based on the facts of what w10 has incorporated into this update. I read and learn about newer updates before I choose to update or not. 9 out of 10 peep do not know how to turn off all the spyware that microsoft has embedded into w10, do you? Why have so many corporations/businesses world wide gotten rid of w10 and turned to linux on all their computers if w10 is so great? Why have so many peeps stayed/gone back to w7 or turned to linux if w10 is so great? Edited October 23, 2018 by Angelz RobMc and john tams 2

Anyway the day after, I was telling my next door neighbour about it and he said I'll have a quick look, go and make a brew (we British, in times of disaster tend to think that a cup of tea will fix anything) when I got back it WAS FIXED!....apparently if you keep pressing F8 as it's booting, it takes you to a screen and you select 'boot from last good point'................ So, I'm sorted again! and my neighbour bless him, wouldn't take any reward, I was so chuffed, I offered him money, beer, cigarettes, an hour with the wife,...but no nothing!.. Now that's a mate! Cheers Angelz 1 Awards
