Hey, I understand you're planning to revert to Windows 7. Since you have a legal copy and an ISO on a USB, the system won't automatically format your drive. You'll need to create a bootable Windows installation media yourself and then format the SSD manually if needed.

Don’t rely solely on Windows 10. Explore other options and stay flexible.

If space is limited, you'd need to adjust formatting. Or you might embed Windows within another and transfer your files. But why reduce the version? Windows 8 offers advantages over Windows 7.

It runs a bit quicker... the interface remains quite poor until you adjust it to feel more like 7.

Someone asking about Windows 8 and 8.1, I don't like them and don't want to upgrade to Windows 10. It's just my preference, I suppose.

It's like a month + change for the Win 10 to come out. Why not just wait like @ grayblizzard said. You gonna have to upgrade to Win 10 sooner or later for DirectX 12 anyway. Unless you are not a gamer, then by all means just backup and do a clean install.

Alright, follow the rest of the group while mentioning Windows 10 is great in addition to its cost.

You can transform Windows 8/8.1 to resemble Windows 7. My setup appears to mimic version 7, which is why some users noticed the difference. A few friends who enjoy coding visited my system a couple of months ago, and one remarked after about 30 minutes, "I see you didn't stay on Windows 8 for long." I explained that I was running 8.2, but they didn<|pad|> to think it was still Windows 8. I had to check the system settings to confirm it was indeed 8.1.
