(Redirected) Going back to Windows 8!!
Hi Everyone.. I apologize in advance if this question has been asked. I tried to find it before I posted. I upgraded my alienware to windows 10. I figured I would fall in love..not so. I am past my 30 days to restore windows 8.
Is there any way to actually go back? Or can I buy Windows 8 software and install it myself?
Thank you so much!
Kim

Kim you can either clean install Windows 10 RS1 or Windows 8.1 with Update 2. The installation media is downloadable from Microsoft see these guides:

I would recommend a clean installation of Windows 10 RS1 as it'll clear up pretty much any performance issues you've experienced due to an upgrade install.
