Just uninstalled the worthless shit "windows 10"
Looks like windows 10 ate my private pgp key and even after going back to 7, it still is gone. Fucking god dammit.
I was just going to post how to get there, but you found it.
If you don't want to downgrade, you can access your BIOS settings and put your computer in legacy mode for the time being. Just Google "legacy BIOS [your hardware manufacturer and/or model here]". Bitter Cactus and anyone else dealing with freezing and lag will likely benefit from doing so. Until they get their shit updated and fixed that's the best you can do, fucking legacy mode.
Shroomism - I wasn't aware of the power user menu accessed by press Windows Key + X for the longest time, that was one nice thing at least. In the future they should outright ask about your computer knowledge and offer two different versions, one that's pretty for people who don't know a computer and one that's geared towards power users.

I am gonna have to delete and reinstall all my programs it seems, as windows 10 left it's lingering shitfest tangled in my programs still. Things are still freezing up and everything is just all fucked.
I am gonna order a copy of a mac os to replace all this shit, I have lost all trust/faith in microsoft and they can suck a huge dick.
Why would you go to the dark side? If anything.. install Linux. Fuck OSX even harder than 10.
Dude... never do their stupid "automatic recovery" bullshit. Things will almost always fuck up in the registry or elsewhere. If you are going to install a new OS or revert to an older one, the best way is always to completely reformat the hard drive/SSD.. and do a clean install of the OS. That's the only way to ensure it's going to go in smoothly and clean. Of course always back up your important data first......

I'm gonna assume that since he's willing to order another OS and install it clean, that he simply doesn't have the option for a clean reinstall of windows 7 (meaning he doesn't have the disc).

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Horse fiddlesticks. If you don't have a CD drive, you can install it via a USB stick. Win 7 can be obtained for free...

Meh, pirated/cracked OSs are too much of a pain in the ass for me. I got one for some Frankenstein computer I built out of random computer parts and a pet carry cage. Lot easier to just have a legit copy with a serial code.

I've had a working copy of 7 64 ultimate for 5+ years that has worked flawlessly, even downloads updates and everything. Never had an issue with it once. Every year or two I will end up doing a clean install just to get rid of all the accumulated crap without having to dink with it.

For the longest time there was this legitimate Microsoft-sanctioned site where you could just download various Win7 ISOs. I think they've closed down now though.

It might still be there, if you mean the virtual machine .ova's for developers. http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/windows/
Edit: I forgot about the .iso files hosted at Digital River, they're long gone, but they've been preserved as torrents. http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

Yeah Digital River is what I was thinking of. Good to hear they're still available as torrents.
