Hi sifus,
Good day. So recently my laptop just suddenly upgraded itself to windows 10 (A timer suddenly appeared and there was no cancel button, what the), so i could consider it as a forced upgrade. But thats not the point. The headache part is that when i want to go back to windows 7, the entire process was smooth, but eventually my comp boot back as win 10 again. I tried a few times and everytime it just start back in win 10. Anyone experience this issue too?

10 has better bootup speed because it regulates and defers disc access and caching so it "seems" faster. 7 has better compatibility EVERYWHERE (except for Windows apps, which only 8 and above can use). People who unquestioningly think newer is better, don't have multiple machines to test their theories on.

It's because many people will think newer is better.,because normally newer is made in order to fixed uncompleted.,bad.,on older thing...

If you are doing business or office the driver will have compatibility issues with certain hardware or electronic with alot other issue will occur like if you are not pro you cant stop annoying updates. To some older generation, they need to learn again to adept with 2 difference environments This post has been edited by Velocity: Jun 14 2016, 07:58 AM

Anyone experience this issue too? when you said you tried mind sharing what steps you took to try? manually or you went into the Recovery menu system to do it?
