    I just did a fresh install of win7 ultimate on my laptop and I need to restore the original image to get some files on home premium. Will this work? and can i jump back to the ultimate image in afterwards also?

    (forgot to make some recovery disks)

    Go to computer>files,and you will find a file called windows.old...All your previous files are there.Take whatever you want and delete the rest(to make some room in the hd).
