At this point, you've got two potential options. If you've left it too long to restore your computer or you deleted your recovery files, you'll no longer have a restore option for your previous operating system. If you’ve got a previous operating system available, the second option will start ‘Go back to Windows xx’. This will launch the Recovery app, which lets you refresh or restore your computer. Step 1 – Open RecoveryĬlick on the Star Menu, type ‘recovery’ into the search box and click Recovery Options. Make sure that you’ve backed up any important files before you follow these instructions, just in case something goes wrong.

A final restriction is that you have just one month from upgrading to complete the operation. Provided you haven't run a disk cleanup on your system, deleting these original files, you can just roll back your computer to its previous operating system. The good news is that this is very easy to do, as the upgrade process saves details of your old version of Windows. However, if you’ve upgraded and are now finding that the OS isn’t right for you (perhaps you’ve got some unsupported hardware), you may want to go back to your original OS. We think that Windows 10 is great and that everyone should upgrade to it where they can.
