CyberLink Power Director doesn't open and it says I need to update to a newer version but I don't want to update I just need to open the program to get saved projects. I find out that I can't restore my system back to Windows 7 because I'm over the 30 day period. I would have never updated knowing that windows 10 was going to make me update all my programs. I need to know how I can get it to work or go back to windows 7. Thank you for all your help in advance.

Did your Windows 7 come pre-installed with the computer, or did you install Win 7 over another version of Windows ?
I have Power Director 10. It opens and starts to load the libraries but then closes. Windows 7 was preinstalled on this computer but I have Windows 7 CD. If I need to Start fresh then I'll Purchase another HD and start over. Unfortunately, Windows 10 was updated on 8/29/2015 but I didn't know Microsoft deletes the old file after 30 days or I would have rolled it back before then.

Since you do have the Win 7 CD and you want to go back, what's stopping you to use it ?
You do have the Win 7 product key too. Yes ?
Why do you have to buy another HD to start over.
I reinstalled my Win 7 Home Premium over Windows 10 Home once and I had no problem.

Unfortunately, no.
It is because you have to do a clean install in order to go back to Windows 7.
There is no other way.
Apparently you can still logon to your Windows 10 as of now. Yes ?
If so, then backup what you want to keep to an external hard drive before you start reinstalling Win 7.
