uninstall windows 10
I need to know if there is anyway to uninstall windows 10 (which was installed from a cd and not a upgrade). The user had vista on it. He needs to go back to vista. The windows.old folder is still there. He has programs that will not work with windows 10.

I haven't tried, but I guess you'll even be able to restore vista, since windows.old should hold everything we need. Take this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/933168 it shows something similar: returning to another version of vista after vista has been installed over it.
You need to restore the bootloader as well, it is described there in, too.

The only reason to uninstall Windows 10 to return to Vista is if Windows 10 does not work on that machine.
Does Windows 10 work on the machine? or does it not work?
As said above, there was never a path from Vista to Windows 10 and there is no return except back up and fresh install.
Vista now has less than 2% market share and has been orphaned. If you can, move on to something more current.

Backup the windows old folder all his files are still there.
Just curious: Did you bother to try mine?
Software
Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
