Got it and thanks for all details.
can i now in june 2017 still upgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 10 ?
i know its late but i still wanna know is there any possibility
My RAM isn’t good enough to handle it. So can i Downgrade it to to Windows 7?
Hi Brijesh,
to downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 7 open the ‘Start’ menu and select ‘Settings’. Go to the ‘Update & security’ icon and choose ‘Recovery’.
There you should see a ‘Go back to Windows 7’ option. Click the ‘Get started’ button to downgrade your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows 7. Microsoft will ask you why you want to go back.
If you installed Windows 10 a month ago — or if you ran the disk cleanup tool and removed the ‘Previous Windows installations’ files or deleted the C:\Windows.old folder by hand — you’ll no longer see this option. Windows 10 appears to automatically remove the old Windows installation files after a month to free up space.
Good luck,
Gee Are
