Solve : Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi guys,<br/><br/>Is it possible to downgrade Windows 8 to Windows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/7-240263" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 7">7</a> without affecting my programs, documenst etc.? Windows 8 isn't so big problem for me, but on that OS my Nvidiga GeForce 8600 won't work with two monitors, so I must go back to Win 7. Any suggestions?<br/><br/>Thanks in advance <br/>Did your computer come with Windows 8 when it was new, or did you upgrade the OS from Win 7 to Win 8? Is your computer a desktop or laptop/notebook? If it's a desktop, what expansion slots are available? Is the Nvidiga GeForce 8600 integrated into the motherboard or is it a card in an expansion slot? What happens when you try to connect a second monitor? Keep in mind there are a few Win8 PC's that were sold that have no downgrade path to Win7...<br/>I don't know of a method that will retain your apps...they normally need to be re-installed to run <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/properly-1733030" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROPERLY">PROPERLY</a>...

When I extend desktop to second monitor Windows act like there is everything ok, but on second monitor is only dark. Strange, Nvidia control panel detected both monitors, exact models. On Win 7 worked just fine.Perhaps driver update would solve the problem. Have you visited NVidia's website to see whether they have a driver update for Windows 8? <br/><br/>I found an interesting article <a href="http://www.dual-monitor.biz/2011/09/14/windows-8-multi-monitor/">http://www.dual-monitor.biz/2011/09/14/windows-8-multi-monitor/</a>. Windows 8 provides some improved features for using multiple monitors. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/think-661001" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINK">THINK</a> I'd investigate further before downgrading back to Win 7.

It's driving me crazy. I wonder if a newer card would solve the problem.

I posted issue on Nvidia forum, but no answer. On Linux Ubuntu 12.10 both monitors work perfect.</body></html> | |
