If it’s been less than a month since you upgraded to Windows 10, you can go back to your previous version of Windows by going to Settings > Update & security > Recovery and selecting either Go back to Windows 7 or Go back to Windows 8.1. This won't affect your personal files, but it will remove any apps you installed after the upgrade to Windows 10.



You probably need to update your printer drivers separately. I had to do that on a couple of PCs that I upgraded.

I would try and stay with Windows 10 if possible. It's much better than Win8, and since everyone is being "forced" into it, it won't be long until programs are only supported in Win10.

ughh..thats what i feared.

i googled some fixes to this and I hope its just as simple as reinstalling drivers. I had downloaded a new driver this morning for my epson and the computer still wasnt recognizing or able to find the device.

i'll have to tinker with it more tonight. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
