I'm planning to revert to windows 7 back form windows 10 since some of my games worked better, so my question is if i do, will i have to reinstall things i installed in last few days while i had windows 10?

Possibly not. But it all depends on how long you had Windows 10. If it's over a month then the files are gone.

Ok, so you should be good. Although I have no idea why you'd need to go back. There are ways to fix whatever games work worse. Maybe driver updates? I found ALL my games, sans Fallout 4 as I need more ram, all had performance increases.

Might I ask what games need the reversion?

Well, there's your problem with the Witcher 3. An under powered video card and a mid ranged processor.

Well, then do what you think is right. But a full roll back for two games seems a bit extreme to me. I'd recommend researching fixes before you rollback.

Dunno about the processor, but that same card and 8gb ram runs the witcher 3 properly on my desktop using windows 10 (the processor i have is fx 8350). I have both win 7 and win 10, and some games run better on one system, some on the other, there´s not one that is better for all, in my experience.

I had many problems with win10 at first, crashes, unable to maintain internet, framerate loss etc. All most all of them were power setting related. Im not saying you shouldnt revert. But I was able to get everything sorted after a few days by googling.

a simple revert will likely still cause your fps drop, only way to truly clean that system up now would be to actually wipe it all away and start fresh... imo with win10 now that the license has been upgraded... upgrading/downgrading os's and leaving it be like that is not the way to go imo, it leaves to much junk and running services/processes from the prior OS... if you truly just despise win10 then sure revert back to win7, but do so cleanly imo =)

OP got me wanting to try MY copy of the Witcher 2, which I haven't played in a few years. I'll know when it's done off my slow ass internet. :P
