I can't believe it, but Microsoft installed Windows 10 onto my business computer without my approval. They just did it and my survey programs probably don't work on it. Also what about my data files are they going to be wiped? It's installing as I write this. How do I get back to Windows 7 ?
Ha ha ha hah hahahhaahhahahahah
Love,

You're supposed to have a certain length of time after the upgrade to go back. I recommend backing up any important files prior to trying to reverse the upgrade. I'm not at my computer, but a Google search should give you the ins and outs of the undo process. Good Luck.
If memory serves, it might be the system restore feature that supposedly allows one to go back within a 30 day time frame. Wish I had gone back when I had the chance.
As always, confirm info before diving in
I don't think "System Restore" will do a transition across OS's, especially from 10 to 7. Best bet is to gather up your backups (you DO have backups, correct?), make current data backups if you don't, then re-install 7 from a boot thumb drive and re-install the apps and data.
Before you do that, though, check out this link:

Bummer.

I could easily be wrong, but I was unaware you could rollback to & - I thought it was just 8.
