WIN 10 - no option to go back to Win 7

Ok, winding back to Win 7 is normally easy.

However, a system today I came across today under UPDATE and SECURITY > Recovery >only has
Reset this PC
and
Advanced Start-up

How do I get back to Win 7, without doing a clean install?

Windows 10

They must have gone over the default 30 days - once you have Win10 running for over 30 days that recovery option goes away

Only way now is a clean install - unless the machine has a factory restore option(like Dell/HP models)

Yes, as per above only 30 days. Is Windows 10 working well? If so, why go back?

QuickBooks V2016 works just fine on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - I have it working. V2015 works as well because I converted to Windows 10 before V2016 was out. Earlier than V2015 is out of support and may not work.

I think the QB version is pre-2015 hence the problem John

So upgrade QuickBooks and keep Windows 10 - that would be my suggestion. Otherwise, format, reinstall Windows 7 and be ready for nearly 400 updates post SP1 (two days of updating).
