Windows 8 to Windows 7. [SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
I had a couple of questions about changing Windows 8 to Windows7.
Since I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Windows 8 I really want to transfer to Windows 7 and I don't know if it's going to work.
Questions:
1. Is it gonna work?
2. Am I gonna lose everything?
3. Should I do it/is it worth the bother?
4. How to do it?
5. Any tips on what I should do?
Please write specific answers like why I SHOULD do it or why I SHOULDN'T.
Thank you

Hello,
So you want to downgrade? Hmmm... not sure if that's possible. Not in a "normal "way that I could think of.
the best way is to just back up ALL(!) your (important) stuff and then reinstall Windows 7. (So format your disk completely first)
However, I do not recommend doing so, because the difference between 7 and 8 is not that huge, except for the Metro interface everyone hates. :PYou can just use the old Desktop, right?
By the way, Microsoft plans on brining back the old Desktop as default in Windows 8 in a few months. They might even re-add the Start menu too.

Hi there,
What I mean is that you can still switch to the old Desktop interface.
There's an icon for it on the Metro interface. Somewhere in the left corner.

It's the Windows 8 layout you see by default:
It's called the "Metro interface".
