Hello!
I was questioning why Microsoft took off reverting back to Windows 7.
I just got Minecraft this Christmas and didn't know the technical difficulties with the graphic drivers for Windows 10, yes there is an option to get a new pc/laptop, but I would like to revert back to Windows 7 if that is possible.
Also, I do have Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta, I perfer to have the regular pocket edition of Minecraft.
Is there any possible way to play Minecraft pocket edition on Windows 10? Or revert back to Windows 7?

Once you do the upgrade to Windows 10, they give you one month to revert back to your previous OS version if you want. After that, the "old" Windows version files are deleted to free up disk space (Windows just does it on it's own and there's no warning or "user conformation" involved).
but I would like to revert back to Windows 7 if that is possible.
If a month has passed, the only way to reinstall Windows 7 is if you have the disk and do a "full install". (No, I don't think you can run down to Best Buy and buy a copy anymore).

Short version: no and no.
PE is basically an "app" that only runs on smartphones & tablets. It will not run on computers/laptops. Besides, the Win10 Beta version is virtually identical to PE, you can't run the Win10 version without Windows 10, and reverting back to Windows 7 can cause problems with any other programs (especially the newer ones you'd like to run), not just MC.
You didn't say specifically what you're "graphic driver problem" is (or what you're trying to run Win10 on), but I'm guessing you have an old computer or laptop that you upgraded. I think it's time for a new one. I realize that's easy for me to say, but come on, you'll love it... and so will all your programs, now and in the future. (OR you could get a nice tablet just for PE).
You're problem of trying to run PE ("the regular pocket edition of Minecraft") on your computer, even if you go back to Windows 7?
Nope. Like I said, you can't run PE on a computer- only on smartphones or tablets. Check the system requirements.
You can run the java version (almost any OS that runs java) or the Win10 version (Windows 10 only) on a computer, but not yours- due to lack of drivers. (You still haven't told us what kind or age of the computer you have).
BTW, I'm not saying Ubuntu might have blocked some of 10's graphics drivers, or that the (obvious) dual-booting didn't allow a "full" install of Windows 10.
Don't know.
I'm just saying....
What I do know is trading Windows 10 for Windows 7 doesn't make any sense at all, MC or no MC.

Oh sorry, I meant the regular PC edition of Minecraft.
Here is the Minecraft crash report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14233013/
My display adapters for Windows 10 is: Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipest Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0)
I also tried running Minecraft on compatibility mode (Windows 7)
It didn't do much change.
But... but... you posted this in the Win10 Beta Support section, not the PC (java) support section.
Oh well, I'm still a noob. We all make mistakes lol.
Can you help me fix the problem?
