Want to Remove Win 8 Completely

I have the Ideapad N580 laptop that came pre-installed with Win 8 (HATE IT!) and I recently upgraded to 8.1 because it supposedly had some Win 7 features (IT'S WORSE!).  There were many problems after installing 8.1 (finally resolved).  I like the laptop, hate Win 8 and its various forms and I would like to know if my laptop will work well if I remove Win 8/8.1 altogether and install Win 7 Ultimate instead so that I never see, use or hear from any version of Windows 8 again.  Will I run into any problems if I do this?  Thanks.
Solved!

  • I want to remove photoshop cs3 completely.

    I downoaded the trial version and I want to remove it completely, but I'm having trouble uninstalling it. I'm using windows XP.
    Problems:
    I can't uninstall it. I possibly deleted one or more of it's components.
    Ran windows installer cleanup Utility and it didn't work.
    Wondering if I should just start deleting the photoshop files manually from the c drive.
    I've tried the obvious routes:
    Start,
    Control Panel,
    Add or Remove Programs,
    Change/remove.
    When I click the Change/Remove option, the hour glass loader appears for a few seconds, then the screen flickers for a momonet then nothing happens.
    I've tried restoring my computer to an earlier time, but that didn't work.
    I've tried looking for other support forums on this adobe website, but I only find solutions for uninstalling from trail to purchased modes...not uninstalling completely.
    I've tried calling adobe support and after an 1hr 1/2 of questions, taking down my personal information, and listening to elevator music, they finally tell me that there will be a 39 dollar charge to uninstall the software from my computer.
    Can anyone explain to me how to resolve this issue? Appreciate any help I can get!

    You seem to have tried all the right things.
    Two more things to try:
    Re-install the trial over the top and try again to uninstall.
    Run the Adobe clean script. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    If all else fails you will have to manually delete.
    Do you have other versions on the computer?

  • TS2755 I want to remove imessage completely--how can I do this? This is a terrible feature for parents who need to monitor usage.

    Hi - I am a parent who needs to know when and who my child is texting . Imessage is a terrible feature that I want to remove or at least block.  What can I do to remove this so that my child doesn't have it as an option?

    To turn Messages off, you'll need to turn it off in the Messages setting, and then set up Restrictions and disallow changes to accounts. Otherwise your child can just turn it right back on.  For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    This presumes that your iPhone is running iOS 6. The option to disable Messages is not present in iOS 5, if my memory is correct.

  • How to remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp

    I want to completely remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp. I followed the steps in bootcamp assistant and it appears to remove the win 8 partition. However when starting a new win 7 bootcamp partition and installation setup still thinks win 8 is being used. how do I get it to recognize the win 7 now being installed from the usb drive? This is on an iMac 27 late 2012 with OS x 10.10.1

    Hi Janesdf,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are looking for Windows downgrade on your Ideapad N580.
    Before doing any changes in the system HDD partition or with Windows OS, I suggest you to create the system recovery media and then you can downgrade the OS. But you require Windows 7 recovery media.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Hemanth Kumar

  • Want to install Win 7 32-bit with Bootcamp on a 2009 iMac 24in running Mavericks. Do I have any good options?

    I need to get Win 7 32 bit running on 2009 iMac 24-in, on a Bootcamp partition. Problem is I'm running Mavericks on that machine, and from everything I've read, Bootcamp 5 doesn't support 32-bit anything. Is it possible to do so without downgrading MacOS to an earlier version? I will if I have to. Would it be possible/advisable to boot to 10.6.8 from a removable drive and create the Bootcamp partition on the internal (10.9.x) drive? Any other options that can get me running Windows faster? Under Parallels it's just too slow.

    As a possible alternative, Is it possible to only load Win 7 to the machine without bootcamp? Could I simply partition the drive for Windows and install? It's not that I want to run Win 7 -- MacOS is a far better solution for me. But for my bookkeeper, who will use this system extensively, MacOS is a foreign landscape and her software is win-based. I don't want to pay her to learn Mac-ese. And I don't want to buy a PC!
    Thoughts?

  • I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it.

    I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it and  use the previous version that I had on the machine before the install which was a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Please provide me with the steps to complete this.

    You can uninstall in the usual way (Control Panel). You will probably then need to reinstall the older version, which the trial most likely removed.

    Hey ktillis88,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
    This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    Thanks,

  • Hi, I downloaded get tube from google on my i mac and now want to delete the app completely, how can I do so?

    Hi, I downloaded get tube from google on my i mac and now want to delete the app completely, how can I do so?

    Get AppZapper, a free program that removes apps.  Make sure everything has been removed by checking with Spotlight once the app has been zapped.

  • I want to remove the yahoo toolbar and the avg toolbar, but how

    It take a long time to load firefox. I see a avg tool bar, and also a yahoo tool bar. I would like to remove them.

    Firstly you should be able to easily disable them by right clicking on a empty spot on the toolbars and they should appear in the right click popup menu. Deselecting could be enough, but if you are like me and want to remove them completely:
    They should be listed as extensions in your add-on manager. '''Tools > Add-ons''' (or Ctrl+Shift+A)
    When you find it, there should be a few buttons next to it. If you don't see a button that says "Remove", Restarting Firefox in safe mode could sometimes do the trick.
    '''Start > Run, type "firefox -safe-mode" ''' (without the "quotations") '''and hit enter.
    If you still cant find any remove button next to those toolbars you want removed, try to find and uninstall them via windows '''Add or Remove Programs''' that you can find in your Control Panel. '''Start > Settings > Controll Panel'''
    It could often be a headache trying to removing add-ons and extensions, hopefully it goes smoothly for you this time.

  • I want to remove windows defender...TrustedInstaller

    I want to remove windows defender and I must get permission from TrustedInstaller. I cannot find any reference to this.
    Back to Win XP

    Funky, I would try using Revo Uninstaller to see if it will work for you.  I have used it to uninstall many programs that wouldn't go peacefully.

  • I want Justcloud removed from my applications

    I have seen a couple of posts similar to this but my problem is different slightly. I downloaded the trial of just cloud and decided it wasn't for me so I am using dropbox instead. I have no problem removing Justcloud from my applications and emptying the trash while its in there either. The problem is when I restart my computer there is a placeholder in the applications menu for justcloud still. no matter how many time i delete it, when i restart my computer it comes back. There are no error messages or anything at any point to help me figure out the issue. the placeholder in applications looks like this:
    Any suggestions?

    You have not fully uninstalled it, would be my guess.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt  work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen,  so I want to remove this

How can I get this done? Please help me.

    Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
    If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.
