Solve : change windows 10? |
|
Answer» how do I change windows to 7For starters you need a legal copy of Windows 7. Then hunt down all drivers you will need while you have that connection through windows 10 to make sure proper drivers exist first and download them to a thumb drive. Next when you know that the computer is supported by 7, install 7 and install drivers. Then a bunch of security patching and you should be all set.Did you have Win 7 previously ? ?Link that might be relevant: Did you have Win 7 previously ? ? No I did not unfortunately K...then you will need to purchase it with a liscense...BACKUP any thing you have that you currently need and then wipe the HDD and install Win7. Then you will need all the Win7 drivers for it which are free at the PC's manuf.site I'd look for the drivers before you spend money on Win 7 though, it won't run well without the correct drivers A quick Goolge serach shows Winmdows7 product key for $29.95. Three of these are Google ads, which Google WOULD not allow if they were not legal. Google this: buy windows 7 key ... and find a bunch of offers for Windows7 keysGeek i've been thru this before with you ....Win7 for 30 Bucks is NOT legit...no matter what you think google will or will not allow. Last time i'm reminding you.

You have never offerecd any proof. Prove it. Search bing or any wearch engine. It is very widespread. No proof found, therefore rather the lack of a clarity means Microsoft is complacent and the cheap deals have some kind of legal basis. Otherwose, Mocrosft would have stopped it by now. A website appearing in the search result for "Buy Windows 7 key" isn't proof of it's legitimacy. That same principle would suggest that it is legal to torrent pirated copies of Windows, since appropriate Search engine queries will take you to torrent websites. Search results are not "Google Ads" either. (?) One of the first results I get for your search goes to "G2deal". This specific site- as well as the others to which you refer- was explicitly called out here by a Community Moderator on the Microsoft Support forums, Another post on this same subject written by a Microsoft Employee can be found here as well. In determining whether a site selling Microsoft "keys" is selling legitimate merchandise I think those posts have a lot more veracity than simply asserting that their presence in the search results is, somehow, itself a demonstration that they are legitimate or in some way sponsored by Microsoft. Microsoft will take action against sites like this if they are directly reported, but if they go unreported then all they see is that the Technet/MSDN SUBSCRIBER from whom the key was BOUGHT is now suddenly installing in both Norway and Mexico or some other similar clear indications of TOS VIOLATIONS. Microsoft Bans the subscriber account and blacklists ALL the keys that were generated by that account. They don't have to go looking for the shady websites where the keys were resold. On Bing. (Attatchment below.) Tbe SCDKEY web site. https://www.scdkey.com/microsoft-windows-7-pro-oem-cd-key_1338-20.html?bingads&msclkid=e3dd4f56532e16955516156d1bfb7eb9 So you think this site is a scam? Does MS pay you to say that? EDIT: just now I went thee and did a live chat and asked if they were legit and they said the have sold a lot of the products. EDIT: The links provided by BC weer very opionated. The do not represent legal advice, but an opionion. Read them and see there is a desclaimer taht the staremenst do not represent Microsft. So there. The rants and raves prove nothering. To the contrary, the disclaimer from Microsft implies the sale is legal if you really mean leagal. Some things that are legal may be distastlefull, even imopral, but still legal. In USA lasw, and other countries, there are distintions made betwen actual thft and violation of law and the act of doing something other people do not like. Under common laswe, if a product can be sold to a nubuloius grop of peopl, it can be sold to anyone. Of course, a vendar can r efuse to sell to somebody. But the lasw may compel him to sell under some conditions. If the item was offred for sale and is bought, then the vendor can nmot come back and claim some wimpy poorly structured special rule was broken. Software sales is a new thing and there are many idas people have about what is or is not lgla. But in the end, it its the actual lasw that makes something legal or not legal, not the rants and outcries of those who are offended by the idea taht somebody of lessor social l status was able to enjoy the same goods or services. Microsft is aware of this issue. They have had oportunity to make a legal staement, if then wish to do so. Instead, they offere vaugue statements about piracy when t here was not piracy. The prices and contracts were set by Microsft and Microsft is trhe cuase of the confusion. The ball is in their court and they have chosen not to take action. Under common law, that is almost the same as admisioopn that there was not violaltion of laaw. It is not he repsonsibliity of an individual to deeply investigate the varacity of a busines that has some prooof there are doing business with Microsft. There was no theft. There is no misrepresentation. Otherwise, Microsft would take action. If is niteworty that Microsft has had to muzzle some of their own emplouess for going too far with this charade. [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]That is the exact type of site that both the posts I linked are referring to. Windows 10 Pro for 14 dollars? Windows 7 Professional for 11 dollars.... which is a discount for a mere 44. Those retail for far more. There is no legitimate supply chain that would support that ridiculously low price point, let alone any margin. This is like seeing a classified ad for a Ferrari 288 GTO for 200 bucks that claims it is like new and thinking it must be legitimate because the newspaper would have never allowed it if it wasn't... then saying that those saying it is shady must be paid by Ferrari to say so. If so their pay stub would have the dollars crossed out and "common" written for the cents. Sites like that are key resellers and scroungers. They purchase keys from pretty much anybody willing to sell them- For Microsoft products, the most likely source is from MSDN/Dreamspark/Bizspark subscribers who don't take their TOS seriously. They can generate a good number of keys- My previous MSDN subscription allowed 5 Windows 7 Home Premium, 5 Windows 7 Pro, and 5 Windows 7 Ultimate Keys, far more than I would ever need. I even received E-mails from these sorts of sites (Not this one specifically) asking me to sell them keys. They buy them for around 5 or 6 dollars a pop, claiming it is "pretty much free money", (yeah totally worth losing my complimentary MSDN subscription that would have otherwise cost 10 grand) They then turn around and sell them at a 50% margin which still seriously undercuts the price of the legitimate product in order to entice unwary buyers, like say those who think it being in bing search results is proof of it's legitimacy. Of course, MSDN/Dreamspark/etc keys are "legitimate" keys, but they are only legitimate when they are used within certain very specific activation terms, which are outlined in the TOS and agreements surrounding the subscription services where they originate. Selling the keys is obviously a no-go there, and eventually the subscription service flags unusual behaviour for review, they look at it, see it is clearly a case of selling the generated product keys, and ban the account and blacklist ALL the generated product keys- at which point the people who bought that Windows 7 Pro key on SCDKEY get "This copy of windows is not genuine". And have no recourse with Microsoft because they never had a legitimate license to begin with. As a side note:SCDKey,G2A, G2Deals, etc and other sites that do this have a support system which is pretty straightforward. When you go to them with an issue, they ban you. Does that sound like a legitimate, above-board site? It doesn't sound like it to me. I have started something here, I thought it was just a matter of a simple download. I will read them all again and see what i'll doHarry, why do you want to downgrade? Are you having problems with Win10? Windows 10 can be configured to operate like Windows 7 very easily. |
