I recently bought a new laptop with preinstalled windows 10. I have to say it is not the fastest because it was created for study purposes only. Now my question: Can I still downgrade to Windows 7 or do I have to get a new license? If I compare the tasks executed between W10 and W7, there's quite a difference. Generally Windows 10 is in my opinion quite a case (within 4 days more than 10 crashes).
If win7 was not previously installed as was an upgrade to win10 (windows.old folder exists), you can't downgrade. In that case, you would need a key for Win7. And I would first check first if there are any drivers for Win7 and your Lappi. Downgrading to newer systems is always such a thing. Apart from that, Win 7 has no future. : 0
Did you ever think about redoing your Win 10? The crashes are certainly not normal, because you should see what it is.
With a high probability there's Win10 Home on it and thus no possibility to downgrade. Does not make much sense. Yesterday, there was one here, who said so meaningless Win7 on his Win10 laptop to install and then found no Win7 driver for his laptop. Is just normal for cheap laptop.
Win10 runs very stable with me. But I know Pappnasen who have installed within 24 hours after purchase malware on his computer and is also surprised about crashes. Also, in fact, the hardware may be broken, so test times RAM and hard drive on defective. Often they are responsible for crashes.
Let it be better.
If you install Win7, you will have the problem finding Win7 drivers for this laptop. - Probably not offered on the support page of the laptop manufacturer.
Where do these crashes take place? - Are you trying to run games that overwhelm the laptop?
Which laptop is this?
No, he usually crashes when I watch videos (Netflix, Amazon, etc.).
It is an Asus Vivo Book
CPU: AMD A9 (3.00GHz)
RAM: 8GB
Graphics card: ATI Radeon R5 M420 2GB
Although I'm not an expert in IT, I would say that for simple IT work (Word, Excel) and some entertainment, the set-up is completely sufficient. Or?
I agree with you.
For Win 10 an advice: drive 1 / 1-2 days a restart.
Here, the collected by the quick start z. T. Disturbing ballast thrown off.
This can also be easily seen by comparing the memory usage in Task Manager> Processes, before and after the restart.
