try to install fresh copy of the windows 7, just proceed with the installation you will only loose your programs not your files.

the files can be accessed in a folder called windows.old


just avoid partitioning the hard disk.

Same steps. simple don't select upgrade select the other.

Note: since your down-grading you will surely loss all your applications except your files/documents.
