That's another thing.The infamous Windows Anniversary update, which is probably what you're talking about, Meg.
Not only did it take ages, but it also undid many of my settings too.
I do believe that, if MS are going to bring out a replacement for the perfectly good W7 (and the not very good W8), they should test it out thoroughly well before issuing it to the public and manufacturers, and not expect the aforesaid to find out all the bugs for them.

my sister's laptop upgraded to W 10, she must have accidentally clicked on the upgrade option , I nearly did . She got her grandson to go back to 8.1.

then I would expect the maintenance partition to have W7 in there.
If so, a factory reset would put the machine back to the way it left the shop.
Needless to say, it would be necessary to get all the data & Programs off, before doing this, as they would be lost.

It would take longer than Brexit!
What works (reasonably well) is running an "Insider Programme" and getting automatic feedback from the field as users take the level up.
I think you'll find that they all use that technique.
