About 10 mins and I was back to Windows 7 and Happy again.

How do I go back to 7 after the the month allowed ?

You can install Windows 7 from scratch and use your original activation key. You need to back up any data before hand as this would be a clean install. You may also have some agro finding drivers, mainly sound cards were a problem on Windows 7 iirc.

Windows 7 is downloadable from microsoft, no need to use any dodgy downloads from the internet if you have a legit activation key. Normally easiest to put in on a cd and boot from the cd to install Windows 7. The activation key might be tied to a manufacturer (such as HP, Dell etc) in which case you may need to use their install disc not the generic microsoft one (I can't remember if this applied to Windows 7 like it did with XP).

Sometimes a factory restore hidden on the hard-drive will do the install to Windows 7.
