Is there anyway to uninstall Windows 8 Consumer Review and roll back to Windows 7?

Posted by admin on Saturday, December 15, 2012

Q. If i am gonna reinstall my windows 7, is my hard drive, personal settings, etc is gonna be format? or is it still the same as before

A. If you reinstall Windows 7, you're going to lose all the data you had before. You just can't uninstall an operating system like normal software because it's an operating system...you upgraded to an unfinished product and now you're going to lose most, if not all of your data unless you back it up. It amazes me that people are actually installing this as their main operating, are surprised that it sucks because it's unfinished, and then are surprised that they're going to have to reinstall their previous operating system (which may involve buying the installation DVD) and lose all their data...and this is exactly the reason why Microsoft should never release a Consumer Preview operating system again.

I accidentally made the mistake of installing Windows 8 Developer Review from the setup.exe. What do I do?
Q. I want to get back my windows 7 but I don't know how to do it. Please provide a detailed explanation on how to do it please.

A. I do not know the answer but how is windows 8?

What are the first reviews of windows 8?
Q. How is the new windows8?

A. Reviews are mixed, more bad than good unfortunately! Been using Windows 8 for six months now, and quite a bit more productively than Windows 7, I might add! I find myself forgetting how to navigate around Windows 7 anymore, (for the odd times I go over to that 'side'!)
If your machine is ready for 8, it's great; faster and quite a bit more improved features wise.
If you get 8, play with it intensively for a couple weeks and you'll be good to go!

will you be able to buy a product key for the release review of windows 8?
Q. im wondering whether if you can have the same as a genuine copy of windows 8 if you can buy a product key eventually.....

A. It's kinda complicated.

If you're testing Windows 8 and you installed it over a genuine copy of XP, Vista, or 7, then you can buy an upgrade key and it'll work fine.

If you did a clean install of Windows 8 then you'll have to buy the System Builder edition if you wanted to upgrade. I'm guessing the System Builder version will be more expensive than the upgrade version.

A. It is a Preview version and there is no guarantee that anything will work. Try running the Software Update to ensure you have the latest version as it changes frequently.
