To access this, open the Start menu and select Settings. Click the “Update & security” icon and select “Recovery.” You should see a “Go back toWindows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1” option. Click the Get started button to get rid of your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows install.

You should have the option to revert back. MS places a backup file in your root folder of your system before the update. At least that was the case when I updated one of my computers.To access this, open the Start menu and select Settings. Click the “Update & security” icon and select “Recovery.” You should see a “Go back toWindows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1” option. Click the Get started button to get rid of your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows install.
Your personal files, data etc. won't be affected.
