How to downgrade from windows 10 to Windows 7
I successfully upgraded a couple of months ago, but have now run into some compatibility issues with my Adobe software. I want to restore the Windows 7 that came with my XPS L501X, I have tried the restore process, but it can't find the system image on the HDD. I am running a Dell backup and recovery program at the moment - it's been running for over 15 hours and doesn't appear to be doing much . . . This process would be so much easier if there was a recovery disk.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Chris1803,
When you installed Windows 10 you have 30 days to restore to Windows 7. After 30 days the image is no longer available. You will need to reinstall Windows using the Windows 7 disk. If you need a disk you can purchase one from the link below.
