Restoring windows vista from windows 7? -

I instaledl windows 7 on my computer a few days ago, and I chose quot;upgradequot;, all my vista files are in quot;windows.oldquot;. here comes the question: I don t want windows 7 and I want vista back, but how?

If you install Windows 7 over the Vista partition, you will have to reinstall vista because you basically overwrote it. Please note - I don t think anyone has gotten that far, since the Beta build doesn t expire till August 1, 2009. (Or 120 days if you didn t get a beta key)

Now this is really meant for restoring from vista but Windows 7 is just vista with a different feel. As shado says no one has really gone that far yet but its either this or reinstall from scratch.

Hi 64’ GRAVISSIMA, My name’s Ron and I am a member of the Windows Outreach Team. I thought I might jump in here and try to help out. First, you’re going to want to locate your backup discs that you made before the Windows 7 installation. If you don’t have those, try making discs containing your important files and such, just in case. For info on removing and reinstalling your previous 0S, check out this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... You’re going to want to do a clean custom (clean) installation. Hope this helps! Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team
