I recently bought a laptop with Win 10 but after some time I came to a conclusion that it is not suitable for me which made me wonder if it is possible for me to go back to Win 7 without splashing out loads of money.
Is it possible to go back from Win 10 to 7

Use a NVMe SSD as a boot drive for Win7 x86...sort of
I guess this is really a question for the moderator.
I have not been able to find anything, here or elsewhere, about using a virtual machine so you can use a NVMe SSD as boot drive for Win7 x86. I have found a lot of people frustrated, as I was, about it only being able to be used as a storage drive. Since it's a rather obvious idea, I would think it would be out there somewhere. But if it...

Cloning Windows 7 from existing partition to be used on Windows 10 SSD
I took a look at a thread from 2010 regarding The Safest Way to Clone Win 7 for dual boot, but I would like to know if the same applies for Wn 10? Does Win 10 have more advanced features to help achieve this? I have read that it's not recommended to try to dual boot Win 7 install on existing Win 10 but better to install Win 10 after on existing Win 7 is that right?
Here's what I would like to...

Solved Original System Recovery Disks Question
I have a Dell XPS 8500 desktop running Windows 7. When new, I made the System Recovery Disks as suggested. Only used 2 DVD's. Kept them safe.
