How to I change from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview back to Windows 7?


I downloaded the preview, and to be honest I didn't really like it. So, I was wondering how to change back to Windows 7.

I will +rep if your suggestion works!

Thanks,
Matt

You'll have to backup your data, reformat your Windows 8 HDD partition, and do a clean install of Windows 7 from a bootable disc.

Here is a guide:

or...If you did not create a separate partition, you will have to reinstall Windows 7. Otherwise, you could just deleted the partition.

-Buy/download a version of Win7 and rip it to a CD, I use [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . (burning as an ISO/Image)
-After burning to a CD, restart your computer and while it's booting it's bios hit the F12 key (or the key to start bios config/setup menu)
-Go to boot devices and start using Internal Disk Reader or whatever your diskdrive is called.

You need a new copy of windows 7. That's why you make a partition. So you can have both 7 and 8.

some 'people' have already created rat/BotNets/Scrips that fully utilize all new Win8 features and exploit all those that can be.
