JG14_Smil Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Hello, I really need some advice. My sim computer did the auto Windows 10 thing. I am having issue after issue with my cockpit setup in Windows 10 and I'm thinking of resetting my computer back to the way it was when I bought it. Everything is backed up as I need it. Can I restore Win 7, allow it to update, but not allow it to load Win 10? I'm not doing as of yet, just tossing it around as I wait for a software update for my hardware. This was so much easier back then ;) thank you,
Necroscope Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 It's better to check, but as far as I know - once your PC upgraded to WIN10 - your license was upgraded too. I.e. - you have no Win7 anymore. Again - it's better to check. Regarding auto-update - yes, you can disable it via deleting some of KBs. Additionally - MS's force-update-campaign ended two weeks ago, so there is possibility that auto-update will not happen. 1 Всех убью, один останусь!
BitMaster Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Not true ! You have EXACTLY TEN DAYS from the day you upgraded to Win 10 for a downgrade BACK TO WIN 7 !!!! Do this in Control Panel--Update & Security--Recovery---> revert back to Win7...takes about 30-45min. It will NOT force you to upgrade as the free upgrade offer is over anyway( but some exceptions ). You can, however, DL the latest build of 10 and just install/upgrade whatever, your Hardware is registered for Win10, just install..it will axctivate by itself unless you change certain hardware * Just did exact same thing today for an nforce based QuadCore Core2Duo machine. The nforce 750SLi just wont properly run on 10 so I went back to win7. With this 10-build 1607 I installed it said..."10 days...back to Win7" this used to be 30 days when they started the offer !!!! You can also STILL upgrade legally to 10 for free on this MS site: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade you are disabled !!!?! aren't you ??!!

JG14_Smil Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 Thank you. It updated me long ago, so I'm probably stuck. One thing that is killing me in Win 10 is loss of SoftTh. I used it to edit the frames out of my three monitor setup. They don't line up as well in DCS. I visited the website for it but was not able to get the latest version to create a cfg file. I'll keep plugging at it...
