Recovery problem when going back to Windows 8.1

[lemanta]

I wanted to go back to my old version of Windows but when I clicked on recovery (Go back to Windows 8.1), I have a message indicating that I have to move back my user account to the original location before the upgrade, and leave me like that.
Does someone know how to do this ?

Thank you in advance

Not sure.....
At some point before or after the upgrade was your user profile folder moved to a different drive or partition?

I have not moved my profile folder at all, just upgrated and connected using my Windows account

 

[Trouble]

Did you happen to delete or otherwise move or relocate the Windows.OLD folder?

 

[lemanta]

The Windows.old folder has not been moved, if C:/Windows.old is the right location ?

sorry I got nothing...
I tried googling that error but your OP was general and I suspect you would need the specific wording along with any error code that might have been generated.

I will try to contact directly the tech support of Windows but this is really annoying ... Thank you for your help
