Win 10 to Win 8.1
Hello,
I have a bought and paid for Windows 8.1. Microsoft upgraded it to Windows 10. I developed problems with Windows 10. I got the Windows 10 after I got and started using True Image 2016.
Can someone please tell me if it will work to go back to Windows 8.1 and to use my Windows 10 True Image 2016 back up ? I hope Windows 8.1 will be more stable than Windows 10. I hope True Image 2016 is backward compatable with Windows ?
I hope I am making sense. I am somewhat nervous about this. I hope to save as much of my data as possible, dating back to 1996.
Thank you so much,
Wayne

Thank you Mr. Smith,
My head is thinking, my present OS, Win 10 is unstable.
I would like to go back to Win 8.1.
I have a Win 8.1 install disc. the system disk, what ever it is called.
What I would like to do is wipe my hard drive. Then re-install my OS from my Win 8.1 install disk.
Then pull my data and personal info from my True Image , Win 10 backup to my new Win 8.1 OS.
My True Image backup is located on a second hard drive that I use only to store my True Image backups
I do not know if it will work, Will I be able to re-install Win 8.1, then pull my stuff off a True Image backup saved with Win 10 ?
This is to try to make myself a little more clear. I am going to the links you provided. I will get other ideas on how to handle this
I do Thank you for your response. It is truly appreciated,
Wayne

Should work fine. The backup images are not tied to the OS specifically. If you only need to restore data from the backups (like the content within my documents, etc) then yes, you can still mount those and copy/paste from them in Windows. Alternatively, you can use your bootable recovery media and restore the data to somewhere on the drive as well and then cut and paste it to where you would like. I don't think you can restore your entire profile from Win 10, but should be able to get the important stuff from within it like documents, downloads, favorites, etc.
