How to downgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7 new s2030

HI
I just bought a new Lenovo S20-30 becasue I read a review somewhere that it comes with pre-installed Windows 7 drivers.
Does anyone know how I set the ball rolling to install Windows 7 please? Will I need to get discs or can I download it all?
Thanks

Go to the control panel and then to System. Once that is up take a look right next to the big blue Windows 8 it should say either Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro.
If it does not say pro then you do not have downgrade rights. That is Microsoft rules.

    Hi,
    Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on
    'View installed updates', I don't see any update related to IE 11 installed. And, when I click on 'Turn windows feature on or off', it takes me to Server Manager and in there I dont find any feature related to IE.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Instead of downgrading advanced technology, try ( proposing ) upgrading your ( school ) outdated code.
    Or for a faster fix, set compatibility view settings on the browser.

  • How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?

    Dear Experts
    How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?
    The situation is that in Hong Kong, I bought the iPhone 5 for my mainland China friend.
    The seller said that the iPhone 5 was brand new and was come from USA.
    I found that iPhone 5 was in iOS 8.1. I wonder that why brand new iPhone 5 would be installed in iOS8.1?
    My friend finds that the response of iPhone 5 is so late.
    He prefers to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Please reply.
    Thank you
    Regards

  • How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

    How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

    A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

  • How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

    How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

    I think the best iOS version for iPad mini 1st gen was 7.1.2.
    I use my iPad with music production software and still it was on 7.1.2 I got no problems, but now I'm in trouble using AudioBus for memory problems when I record to a DAW. Synth softwares are laggy, many crack here and there, like it has no more power to reproduce all the voices I need.
    Really the only way is the jailbreak? 8.1.1 is not optimized for older devices: the update had to be not released through iTunes.
    Bye.

  • How to downgrade from ios 8.02 to 7.04 on iphone 4s

    how to downgrade from ios 8.02 to 7.04 on iphone 4s?

    You can't downgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to iOS 7.0.4 any more, because Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.0.4.

    You don't. There is no supported way to downgrade iOS. Attempting to do so will void any warranty, forfeit all rights to support, and could very well brick the phone.

    How to Downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

    Not true, I went back to IOS3 from IOS4 on my 3G phone. However, Apple did not provide the solution I found it on line.
    I don't think I will be upgrading my phone or ipad to IOS6 yet from the comments I am reading so far.

  • How to downgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 8

    I have a HP Pavilion 15-E016TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) that came with windows 8 single language.  It recently got upgraded to windows 8.1 without even giving me an option to cancel the upgrade. After the update the system has become a piece of crap. It restarts the desktop screen again and again. When I right click on desktop I can't access the graphics property option or configure switchable property option...It give an error that 'cli' is not found. Even my games are not working properly(its getting Hanged)..
    Can you please help me how to downgrade back to windows 8 with detailed steps since I don't have an in depth knowledge about reset or refreshing of systems..
    Thank You

    I have a few doubts regarding this..
    1. Wil this erase all my data from all the drives...I had a single drive when I brought it at first, I manually partitioned it..
     OK. You did not provide that information before. So my previous post was a waste of time. You will need to purchase recovery media from HP. If you had recovery media available and selected factory image recover, it would delete and recreate partitions on  the boot drive not the secondary hard disk.
    Looking for recovery disks or usb recovery media?
    2. What about reset or refreshing the pc. Will it help?
    No.  Reset or refresh will only refresh to the current Windows 8.1 operating system
    3. Is it going to be windows 8 single language again.
     It won't work if there is no recovery partition, so you don't have to worry about that
    4. How can I stop the installation of windows 8.1 in future.
    Modify the Windows update settings. See the following image
