On laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 7?

I have a very old laptop and I had Windows 7 until this year but then switched to Windows 10. Now I can no longer switch to Windows 7 how could I undo this? Reset to default? Or would that be the case forever

What sense would such a downgrade have? 0o

Because I want to play old games that I can't download with Windows 10

You have decided to switch from win7 to win10. Why back now?

if you want to use both operating systems, you have to create two partitions on one computer and install one on each. The BIOS recognizes this and you can decide which one you want to work with when booting up.

the old installation is deleted with the new installation, unless you followed the instructions when installing 10 whether the old system should be packed in a folder "windows old".

I have never seen a game that was running on Win7 and not on Win10. 😅 Even the old DOS games can be connected to the Dosbox without any problems.

I'm a girl, I don't know much about it

It is clear that you can't go back! A professional could still help.

I wanted to play Theme Hospital which is quite old and when my laptop still had Windows 7 I could download it but with Windows 10 it says that my system is not designed for it or something

Then you should have thought about it beforehand. Unsuspecting action rarely leads to a good result.

but the question is not whether you know your way around, but still why you want to get win7 back.

I have already commented on this below because I want to download old games that can only be downloaded with older versions of windows

You can get that on GOG for little money. It runs under Win10, because I have it myself.

Ok, then take the laptop to a pc shop and have this second partition set up with win 7. Will cost about 70-90 euro.

Ohh perfect but I can't use my account at the moment so I'm looking for a free alternative.

Thanks then, I'd rather stay with Windows 10

Could you download the Win7 ISO and use it to create an installation medium, burn a USB stick or DVD

Nothing easier than that, DOS Games is usually also available as a browser version. You just have to wait a bit for the game files to load, then it starts. 😋
