So now, I want to revert to the original Windows 8.1 image so I can at least use EZ Transfer to move files, then reinstall Office manually.īut when I try to use "Reset this PC", it restores Windows 10, not Windows 8.1.Īnd if I try to use the Dell recovery USB, it says "Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 5", with these details: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.

When I set it up, Ii installed Windows 8.1, and I allowed the Windows 10 upgrade to occur.
