I bought a old used touchscreen Tablet that was supposed to run Windows 7, and it came with 10…. And it barely works, way too slow and massive lag.
I want to switch it to 7 for free, outside my phone no internet at home so will have to do it via wifi at someplace like Starbucks.
Is this possible to do for free? I wouldn’t be trying to switch it back but save for it doesn’t work despite having nothing on it. I need it to load old PDFs and print receipts needed for a businesss I’m starting on it. Can’t do anything with it in its decrepit state.

I’d say somehow flashing it with a pirate copy of Windows 7. But I have no idea how to do that on a tablet. And Win7 isn’t optimized for tablets like 10 is

Oh, you mean a thumb drive? I also have a external dvd I can plug in. Just I haven’t the slightest clue how that would work, as I don’t know DOS- if you get rid of windows 10 to put 7 on, I’d be left without a operating system midway.
And this tablet is a decade old, meant for 7. It just is absolute trash with 10, unusable.

I had an old tablet that ran Win 8 fine and when it went to Win 10, it just died...sigh, still miss it as it was a great little table that did what I needed at the time. I suppose you could probably try to see if there was a backup image of it when it was Win 7 somewhere on the tablet, but being a tablet with limited storage, I'd say that's very improbable. Your best bet would be to get a pirated version of Win 7 (there's places in the darker areas of the web). Usually, those are downloaded as an .EXE file that when run will export itself onto a USB drive. Then, you plug that USB drive into the tablet and boot up and when asked, do a full wipe and install. But, Win 7 being what it is, you're gonna be in Microsoft hell for as long as you own that machine. It'll continue to try to update and complain and all that. How about Linux? ubuntu-touch.io/There's usually lots of info and support and once you get it going, it'll do everything you probably want to do on that tablet. |
