After my lap top made an automatic conversion to Windows 10 many bad things happened. I cannot anymore upload pictures from my Drop Box. It also takes me time to open the browser I like. If this is only human being, how I wish to scratch his face. I am mad actually.
This day, my students serenaded me in class .They knew it's my birthday today from Facebook, I was so shocked when they serenaded me.They made my day. I took pictures on them. I am truly mad this moment.Windows 10 does not allow uploading of photos. I do not know the worst attitude of this Windows 10.
I hate you,hate you Windows 10. You are a burden to me.

Sorry, @Lucky15. She left Win10 on past 30 days. That means it can't just be rolled back anymore. Now it really will be complicated to do.

Uhm... pony? You do know that if you wait past July 29th of this year to upgrade to Win10 you will have to pay for the upgrade when you decide to accept it, right?
Please don't misunderstand me, I am not suggesting you accept the upgrade. But your pc already has the upgrade downloaded to it, so it is just a matter of time before Microsoft tells your pc to switch to Win10 and it will simply do it... I am just letting you know.
I wrote about a way to stop it from doing that. You might have missed that post, though. If you need, I will tell you where it is and explain what you need to do. Let me know, okay?

@DaddyEvil , Thanks, I bought today a new lap top. I also replaced the hard dish of the lap top with windows 11 with my old hard dish after my first lap top was over heated and original hard dish was saved from over heating.

Actually, I was in the other city when the conversion happened. I was late to stop the rolling and rolling of my lap top converting it to windows 10. I just realized when it popped up and said congrats you may now view windows 10, too bad.

I think there's is an option to roll back to Windows 7 if you'd installed Windows 10 before within 30 days.

@cacay1 In that case you have no choice but to reformat your hard disk and reinstall Windows 7.

I don't know maybe @daddyevil knows. I do know how. But back when computers were young. I think it was just after the last ice age? So long ago. They gave you a CD. Think it was called a cdrom but don't ask me how you spell that. I don't know. I used to work on a computer help desk. How would you like talking to someone like me on a computer help desk? How are you? What were we discussing? Right, you had a question. I said I don't know. Anyway, we used to put the cd into the cd thing. Into a thing was called a cup holder. No sorry, It was called a cd tray. The cdrom said it was Windows. You put windows into a tray. Sounds weird doesn't?

@DaddyEvil complicated by the fact that many computers are being sold without an external windows os package. It's all on the hard drive, that's all the buyer gets unless they want to purchase it.

@Bluedoll I know, but I keep thinking I talked with her about this when her pc first changed over... I am sure I did. (I am not sure how to find that post, right now. I am doing good just getting to my notifications tonight. Even that is slow going. Sorry!)
I thought she told me she did get the disk for her pc. It was a Win7 pc, I think? So she should have gotten the disk back then.

Yeah, I know, but I can't explain it so she can do that herself, now. If she had accepted my help when I first offered to help her, it wouldn't have been too difficult.

See this, Ms. Erly
There is a town in New Zealand that is desperate for people to move in. How small? A population of only around 800. That small. It is the small town of Kaitangata, found in a south island in New Zealand. [caption id="attachment_223744" align="aligncenter".

I am sorry you are still having difficulties with Win10, Erly... And also, happy birthday!
Unfortunately, you allowed the 30 days to go past before you ask for help with it... (I believe I offered to help you right after it changed, but you turned me down? I could be wrong about you turning me down, but I don't think I am.)
It is a good thing you are going to take it to the geek you know tomorrow. I hope he can reinstall Win8 or Win8.1 for you. (If you have the original disk you got with the pc, he should have no problem with that.)

I had desktop come with pre-installed Windows 8 then upgraded to 8.1.
Later, after continuous prompts, I upgraded to Wondows 10.
Then the problems started for nearly a year till it crashed.
My computer technician advised me to discard it finally as the repairs were not worth it.
Microsoft washed off their hands in between - siva

I have a licensed Windows 10 on my new CPU and, so far, it's doing fine. It even opens faster than my previous Windows XP.

if you do not want windows 10. It is pretty easy to get windows 7 back. get 2 blank dvd. save your important information to one of the dvd and set it to the side. download killdisk and make a killdisk dvd set it to the side. get you windows 7 disk. first test boot of your disk to make sure they are bootable. put killdisk in and make sure it will boot then winodws 7. great both of them boot go to step one.
1. put killdisk in the computer and reboot this will bring up killdisk and you can do a low level format, it will take a while to format.
2. when it is done reboot the computer with out the disk in it. it won't boot all the way and it will tell you no operating system no problem. put your windows 7 disk in reboot and install windows 7. done
