Thanks for sharing, however, would the option be non-functional (or fail) if the Old Windows folder were to be removed?

Remember Windows.Old from the Disk Cleanup tool, when run as Admin.

I still had the old Windows folder so it reverted back just fine. Did you delete it?

I haven't upgraded yet, only this message from WU:

"Rollback is dependent on the availability of the Windows.old folder, if you delete that, then you may not be offered the option to rollback."
I would think once the Windows.Old files were deleted the only way to revert back is with an image of some sort. Bty - this method is only good for 30 days after installing Windows 10.

Yes its confirmed that one month effectiveness to conduct a rollback if you suffer some issues, and that's why you need your third party program like GoBack Free from EASEUS to revert without any cases.

I think I clicked the rollback button too many times:

I had the Windows old folder but rollbacking mentioned cannot rollback as files needed were deleted. Though I had performed upgrade keeping everything. I was thinking of rollback coz of Win 10 slow boot & slow system response for stuffs.

As rollback wasn't possible I decided to fresh install. And fresh install solved everything slowboot, slowdown, etc... Guess upgrading is a mess, fresh install is always good.

Now I am liking Win 10. My previous OS was Win 7 so Win 10 is completely new for me. its going to take time to know the stuffs. But I have already disabled quite many things under settings & other places, etc... There are quite many unneeded stuffs enabled by default.
