Backup anything you would hate to lose first!

If it’s been less than a month since you upgraded to Windows 10, you can go back to your previous version of Windows by going to Settings > Update & security > Recovery and selecting either Go back to Windows 7 or Go back to Windows 8.1. This won't affect your personal files, but it will remove any apps you installed after the upgrade to Windows 10.

Believe me, I have seen lots of post lately where folks have lost everything.

But your device is registered now with M$ so you can do a clean install at no cost.

Now to stop the upgrade.

1. GWX Control Panel

2. Never 10

Those are the only programs that I know of that stops the upgrade.

This is not good

MS is playing games it seems.

That has led Samsung to warn users of its notebooks and PCs not to upgrade to Windows 10.
