How to Revert back to your previous OS after a Windows 10 Upgrade

You have 30 days to downgrade or revert to your previous OS. Windows 10 may not be for everyone. Im not saying this because is not user friendly or difficult to navigate, Im saying this because Win 10 might not be compatible with all your peripherals like printer, webcam or Apps and Programs.

Here is how you revert to the previous OS:

Click on start then Settings.

Click on Get started and follow the prompts to go through the restore process.

      if you upgraded to windows 10 no data is deleted. if you cant find your data then it might be inside of windows.old.
