I would suggest asking one of your friends if they don't have a copy or a pirated version

>>329978

Did you upgrade 7 or directly install it?
If installed only a replacement - at which the disk is formated- can put 7 on there.
If you don't have 7

"Wash me, but don't make me wet!"

Tough shit, it will have to be ONE of those, the OS won't be intelligently designed onto your disk...

What's wrong with 10?

They actually sell it? For money?

Forgot to mention, I've had legal copy of win7 on previous computer, but the installation disk is lost, and I changed os there to XP - which of course won't run on 64bits.

I bought 10 in store, together with a computer, didn't upgrade 7 - that's why I'm asking.

I have heard that if you upgrade w7 to w10, you may switch back if you don't like 10, at any time - correct me if am wrong.

>>330016
Many programs I use and older games are at least unstable, or don't work at all, and I know they run fine on older os. And I'm pretty scared of 10 because I can't control what it sends to microsoft.

>>pirated os is not an option
piracy is always an option

You can go back to Windows 7 at any time WRT the license, but pressing one button to go back uses an NTFS restore point, so you can only do that within thirty days.

>>330071
If the copy of windows 7 on your previous computer came with it, it's an OEM copy and is only legal to use on that computer.

>>330071
XP will run on 64-bit: not only is there XP-64, but 64-bit PCs can run 32-bit OSes.

I was just about to say, having a legal copy of Win7 on machine #1 does not entitle you to install it on machine #2.

You should probably also avoid Android, iOS, Xbox, Playstation, Windows Phone, Steam, Battle.net, Origin, YouTube, Twitch, and websites that use Google Ads or Google Analytics.

Not true: if you upgraded to 10, you keep the Windows 7 license forever, and you can still legally install it, and you can still legally restore backups of it.

Just control panel can't do it automatically anymore because the restore point isn't there.

Didn't that only work if you had 7 and then upgraded that to 10, which on that PC you didn't? Otherwise 10 would have to have a 7 integrated into it to roll back.

Ikr but I didn't upgrade it, it was w10 from the beginning.

If they offered free upgrade, why not free downgrade? Was just asking if it's possible and it seems it's not. Probably must listen to >>330073 now.

GTX 1080. No video drivers anyway.

>Android,
My current phone is a bit older than Android.
>iOS, Xbox, Windows Phone, Steam, Battle.net, Origin,
No.
>YouTube,
Not much, pretty fake account.
>Twitch,
No.
>and websites that use Google Ads or Google Analytics
Tbh we can't avoid this nowadays.

>>330085
I'd imagine that is indeed what was meant by "if you upgrade w7 to w10".

>>330096
Windows 10 Pro does have a free downgrade.

You install using any random W7 media and key, then phone Microsoft and say you're exercising your downgrade right.

Windows 10 Home doesn't, because it's the toy version.

doesn't adblock do the trick?
