If you don't like Windows 10 on a specific computer after updating can you go back to Windows 7 easily ?

The reason I ask is because this laptop I am not sure if it will run Windows 10 well enough.

If you kept the original 7 or have a valid copy, should be no problem.

IIRC, there should be a "Go back to previous version" option if you've upgraded to Windows 10 within the past 30 days. Hold Shift while you click Restart, then choose Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options.

And, that is why I always clone a copy of the original OS setup. That provides a quick path to your original setup.

" . . . run windows 10 well enough . . . " What does that mean?

I have a laptop originally released in 2007-2008. It has a Centrino C2D T8300 processor. I've been running Windows 10 on that laptop for the last two years. It seems to run . . . . well . . . "well enough."
