Hi, I have two Lenovo desktops with Windows 7 professional pre-installed. One I updated to windows 10. After two weeks I regret it, wiped the whole harddrive and installed my windows 7 with the original Lenovo factory reset disks.

Hi all, I know that Sysprep wipes drivers and their related entries, etc, but does Sysprep also wipe the startup entries for any programs that are currently installed on the computer? For example, if I have Skype installed and set to run at Start-up, Sysprep won't remove that software, but will it remove the registry entry that starts that software when that User Account is loaded...? ...
