Look at this link. It is instructional and could be of help.

http://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-make-windows-10-feel-more-like-windows-7

I have looked at it and you could really get the lok and feel of your windows 7 back to a large degree.

there are a couple of things one can do about your computer.

1 is to make it LOOK more like windows 7 start menu and screen. That means downloading and installing classic shell. https://www.howtogeek.com/277448/how-to-make-windows-10-look-and-act-more-like-windows-7/

2. Second way is to uninstall winstall 10 and replace it with windows 7 x 64 bit

WHY 64 bit? So that windows 7 will detect and use all of the RAM installed over 3.5 GBs. without the 64 bit system it will only use 3.5 gigabytes. That is not enough..

8 gigs would be excellent. If yer new laptop is a little slow it could be the amount of Memory it has in it.

I upgraded mine after I got it and maxed out the memory.

Works much better now.

The problem with wiping out an operating system on a new laptop is that we do not know whether windows 7 will have all the drivers you need for all the things on the laptop so your display may not work or work right for example. You could be missing drivers for hardware that came on the motherboard. Windows 7 may not even have those drivers.

So there are things to consider.

I installed windows classic shell on my HP Laptop to be a little more familiar with the look and the start menu..

It will help.. Other features will take a little more time.. I am not a fan of windows 10 either but it likely is more because of a lack of familiarity with it.

Heck, I liked Windows XP Pro and have cd's witht he operating system on them ready to install. Same with windows 7.

This is not something for a novice to do or one who is not fairly computer hardware and softwae literate or you will screw up the entire machine.

Get Windows 10 for dummies and see if that will explain how to do things using the operating system.

My son in law LOVES windows 10. I hate it like you. Its because I do not spend much time with it.


These are some suggestions. I can send you an operating system but there are huge risks involved and you may wind up with an expensive paper weight that used to be a laptop...

Or, search for windows 7 classic shell for windows 10..

THAT would be a start.... Google this stuff and read a little about how to make windows 10 more like windows 7

Things are available.. Give them a try bro....
