Suppose I upgrade my Win 7 Home Premium to Win 10. Some time later, lets say two months later, I decide that Win 7 was better. So I format the partition C:\, and reinstall the system ghost image that I had created when I first installed Win 7. When Win 7 asks for the product key, and I enter the original Win 7 key given on the sticker at the bottom of the laptop, will it work, or will the Win 7 key that I had earlier be cancelled when I upgrade to Win 10 and I'll be given a new Win 10 key?

In Windows 10 settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Go back to Windows 7. Valid for one month only after upgrading to win 10.

I downloaded Single Language Win 10 x64 edition ESD file.

Version 6.7 decryptor works well with it. Old version 4.7 doesnt work.

Looks like you are out on a journey or vacation. Well to be frank it is the most simple method of installation. And the updates are going on constantly. MS is looking to fix all of the problems ASAP.

He is asking about "Windows to GO"
not windows in general :)

No mention of win to go yet

Yup... Seems like I'm the only one who's using this.

Yesterday I used 6.7 having a thought that this might not work and need to look for newer version. But it worked flawlessly. So no need of new version

Clean system files

You can delete manually too.

I reinstalled Win 10 from scratch on my desktop. Upgrade was not looking good. There were few issues.

Installed win10 on one laptop using an iso and rufus to make a bootable pendrive. Used jelly**** to figure out my win key (dell given copy). Looks good, runs smooth.

Aomei partition mananger or even rufus can make a win to go drive. Need to give that a shot

Ok at last I own a genuine copy of windows in my home desktop. But what is the advantage of having a genuine copy ?
And how can I remove the recent items section from the file explorer. I don't want my anybody else know what I have accessed recently.

Gets removed automatically after 28 days. I tried deleting manually, some files don't delete, so folder remains. As I don't have the patience of 28 days, I used a free application, LockHunter.

Great. Now one more thing that is bothering me. I have disabled windows update and also app auto update from store settings. I had 267 MB left in my 3G dongle and within about 10 mins it's exhausted. So is there any other auto update enabled on win10 other than win update and app update ?

- - - Updated - - -

Also why auto driver installation in win8 and win10 takes a lot of time ? In win7 it's quite fast, u connect a new pendrive and within secs its ready to use.

I'm seeing people using Rufus and other software to create bootable USB, just open the ISO and copy the contents to USB and boot that's it. Works in windows 8, 8.1 and 10
