Unlike the pre-release versions of Windows 8 in Windows 10, Microsoft is adding a quick and easy way to rollback to your previous version of the operating system when you encounter any issues or if you simply want to go back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Keep in mind that to remove or uninstall Windows 10 Technical Preview is only available for those who use the upgrade process via Windows Update. If you performed a clean installation, the option in the boot menu will not be available.
How to uninstall Windows 10 Technical Preview
Once you hit the rollback button, you’ll see a message “Restoring your previous version of Windows”. Now it’s the waiting game… Wait about 15-30 minutes and your system should boot back to the previous version of Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1).
After you’re back into your good operating system, make sure that everything is working correctly. I have tried using the Windows Rollback option and it’s been problems, such as modern apps not working and problem with device drivers. If you’re reading this how-to guide before installing Windows 10 Technical Preview, I would highly recommend you to make a full backup of your system instead of using the Windows Rollback feature, it’s much safer. Also remember that the best way to test the pre-release version of Windows 10 is by using a virtual machine or using a spare computer, and always opt to perform a clean installation, instead of an upgrade – things will work much smoothly.
