Hello,
Right, I backed up my Windows 8.1 laptop on to an external hard drive. I want to format the laptop HDD from Dynamic to Basic, which I know means I will lose everything, hence the backup. When I format the HDD I want to install Windows 7 as Windows 8.1 has caused so many problems and I don't think my laptop is capable of running it that well. Therefore, I was wondering if it would be possible to restore the files from the backup on to Windows 7? Or how could I do it? I only want the documents if needs be, but would prefer the programmes too, or if anyone has any advice.
Thank you / Diolch yn fawr
