Downgrading from Windows 10 to 8.1 showed an error 0xc0000225. How to recover without data loss?

[Kkss]

I had upgraded to windows 10 from 8.1 around 20 days back but now I don't like the outlook and my system has also become slow so I thought of reverting to windows 8.1. My laptop is giving an error 0xc0000225. Please help urgently.

Hi,

run a recovery , might get resolved

 steps to run a recovery

•  power down the note book 
• as soon as you hit the power button , keep tapping the esc key on the top left corner until a new window opens up(the start up menu ) 
• choose the option f11 and choose the option trouble shooting, and run the option called recovery

Cheers,

Dhee

While Microsoft tells you that there is no risk in the Win10 Upgrade, because they let you believe that you can always revert back to your original OS and setup within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack function has proven to be unreliable -- and when it fails, it can leave machines in a corrupted state -- which doesn't always happen, but it does happen often enough to be a problem and you won't get any warning in advance that it is going to trash your PC!

If that is not bad enough, the Win10 Upgrade is know, in some cases, to corrupt the Recovery partition stored there by the OEM that built the original machine. This pretty much guarantees that no HP Recovery is going to work.

You will most likely have to use HP Recovery Media to restore your PC to its original condition, and you have to order that from HP.

I have received my recovery media from hp. It contains 4 cd. How should I use it to repair my laptop without any data loss.

I doubt that the data can be saved in this case while using the cds

I could recover my data using recovery drive case. Thank God!

Now working with the CDs. Any suugestions?
