How to perform a clean install of Windows 7 (Downgrade from Windows 10)

Hello friends, today I am going to show you how to proceed downgrading your Windows 10 by performing a clean install of Windows 7. Please do not forget to prepare yourself first with some prerequisites:

1. Make sure that you do not have the option to perform a Factory Reset. If your laptop/PC came with pre-installed OS you should have a Recovery Partition. You can then restart your machine and depending on your manufacturer you should press a key or combination of keys to enter the setup.

2. Make sure that you have a product key available and a corresponding Windows OS product. Check if your Windows Installation media is working fine.

3. Backup all of your profile data to another partition or to external HDD or USB flash drive.

4. Be careful when you re-partition the disk.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making this video.

[mackenzieamyobrien]

what if the Windows 10 tells you there's no way to go back Windows 7?? :D

[jeffreynoel]

The first 10 minutes of this video is completely unnecessary.

Is that safe to perform?
I asked some pc experts about that and they said its not recommended because it can cause drivers to be broken or not working

I have original Windows 7 Ultimate CD with Product key, and i really want to throw Windows 10 away because its lagging and not suitable for me

The key for me was deleting all the partitions. I tried to keep the recovery partition and as long as I did that I couldn't install windows 7. All the partitions have to be deleted.

Hello after installing windows 7, i dont have internet. The network driver is missing and it seems that it cannot detect the LAN cable. It says i have to update the driver but I couldn't because i dont have internet. Please help!

[aronbeck]

So all drivers are gone after you install windows. Can you install the drivers from a flash drive ? or do you need another computer to do it ?

I don't have another computer so I would need to put drivers on a flash drive before hand.

What I do I don't know how you downgrade it just talking about how you restarted to windows 7 show me the tutorial

[wyet_]

I didn't see and explanation for how to clean install it. could you tell me in words on how you do that? and I have a product key but it has 20 digits not 25.

[christophersmith]

you only discuss information that every other person does. what happens if windows 10 machine, does not and will not boot to cd or want 7 back and im finding it so difficult, there is no ifo out there how to do this

[MrPenguinPantsMPP]

Instead of putting it on a usb, or a DVD, could I extract it instead onto my desktop?
