In my possession I have: (1) A True Image 2014 Family Pack disk, (2) A computer with Windows 10 out for repair which includes True Image 2016 on it as well as my Outlook 7 details including saved mail installation instructions for other programs I had added, (3) A clone of the True Image C-drive image, (3) A single full C-drive backup, (4)A a non-ISO Window 8.1 Pro downloaded installation disk including a product key and (5) A Win 7 ISO installation file on CD with no product key. If the repair people saves the C-drive intact, I am all set for not losing anything. I tried to switch the new PC from Win 8 back to Win 7 when I got it. Something went wrong and Dell reimaged the computer and said I had to keep version 8 on it to keep my warranty. It is now out of warranty. The backup computer, which a had badly damaged C-drive was successfully set up with Windows 7.
Questions
If have no operation system after repairs, can I boot from my True Image 2014 bootable disk and restore from the backup I have for it from there and will that automatically give me back my complete computer the way it was? Same question for a clone, I also saved. Which is the best way to get as much back as possible. Once I am back operational in Win 10, can I install Win 7 as a downgrade?
If the C-drive is first set up from my win 7 ISO file is there a way to restore my MS Outlook 7 E-mail and calendar from the Win 10 backup?

Okay, let me see if I got this correct. My experience with Acronis isn't vast, but I've had a lot of experience upgrading and downgrading PC's between Windows 7, 8, and 10 recently so maybe I can offer a little bit of insight. I did use Acronis to clone and backup the operating systems I've worked on in the past month or so.

To my knowledge, there is no successful way to downgrade from Windows 8 or 10 to Windows 7 via the operating system. If you want to downgrade your PC, you need to wipe out the operating system and clean install the older version. If you downgrade from a 8 or a 10 to 7, you will need to go into the BIOS and disable secure boot, and change the boot type from UEFI to Legacy in order to get Windows 7 to boot.

Caution: Not all PC manufacturers support downgrading to Windows 7. You *can* downgrade your machine, but HP, for example, doesn't have any drivers for Windows 7 for their newer PC's, so you'll lose hardware functionality in your laptop. Dell does offer Windows 7 drivers for newer systems still, so it depends on your manufacturer, too. Better check with them before you downgrade.

If you have a clone or a backup of the Windows 7 operating system you want to restore, you should be fine, but you won't be able to downgrade to the Windows 7 installation you had using a clone or a backup of Windows 8 or 10, at least not in my experience, sorry.
