Unfortunately, there are still a few minor remnants of Windows 8's touchscreen-first approach. Most notably, a lock screen greets you as soon as you boot your PC, which has to be clicked or swiped away before you can log into Windows.

升级到Win10后回退到Win7/Win8.1的方法步骤 | Windows 10 Pro Win10正式版发布后,想必许多Win7/Win8.1用户都会通过微软Win10升级工具、360升级助手、腾讯电脑管家Win10升级助手第一时间免费升级到Win10系统。但是,假如说你后悔了(且不论什么原因),还想要使用原来的Win7或Win8.1系统,怎么办?难道说只有重新全新安装系统吗?有道是,世上没朋卖后悔药的,可是微软偏偏为Win7/Win8.1升级Win10用户准备了一道后悔药,可以返回到原来的Win7或Win8.1系统。方法如下: 依次进入“设置 - 更新和安全 - 恢复”,你就会在右侧窗口中看到“回退到Windows7/Windows8.1”的选项。 并且这里提示你“升级到Windows10后,此选项只能使用一个月”,所以这人后悔药是有有效期的,一个月后就失效了。 另外还有一个需要注意的地方,就是许多朋友在升级系统之后,习惯第一时间删除Windows.old文件夹,但是现在如果你想回退到Win7/Win8.1系统的话,Windows.old文件夹是必不可少的。 点击“开始”按钮,系统会进行准备工作。 我们可以按照《Win10删除用户帐户教程》删除新建的用户帐户,然后重新开始回退Windows7的操作。 并且会提醒你回退到Win7/Win8.1系统后需要重新安装一些程序,还有之前的一些设置在升级Win10后已经丢失了,返回到原来的系统之后也无法找回。 点击“下一步”,然后提醒你需要记得原来的Win7/Win8.1系统的登录密码。 继续点击“下一步”,会提示你可以随时返回Windows10。 点击“回退到Windows7/Windows8.1”按钮,然后就会显示一个黑底白字的“正在还原以前版本的Windows”界面,其漫长程序不亚于升级Win10的过程,所以耐心等待即可。 相关文章
