A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 So I need a new computer, and I've found the perfect one but it's Windows 8. My friend said you can't downgrade unless it's Windows 8 Pro, which luckily it is. I still haven't gotten it, but can somebody explain how please? I also used my phone so I don't hurt my computer's feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liddojunior Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just stick with win 8 Its faster then win 7 and better. The only downside it takes a sec to get to desktop view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Jesus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 8.1 should be fine/closer to 7 from what I hear. Try that first before going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Set BIOS to legacy boot - disable UEFI. Reinstall windows 7 and get drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I really like Windows 7, Windows 8 just doesn't seem like something I want to use. Plus Windows 8 uses the shitty new logo, so ew. I also don't want to have that whole app page thing, so I'm just gonna stick to Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Prince Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 stick with windows 8, its not as bad as people say, people just butthurt they removed clasic start menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 people just butthurt Can I ask how you discovered your fascination of butthurt? Seems like everyone that disagrees with your opinion, you call butthurt somehow thinking you are actually contributing to the conversation. Judging by the brony room, the butthurt comments and the increasingly apparent naivety (troll-esque) of your posts, I'm gonna assume you only grew up with Windows 7 and never had to opportunity to use DOS, 95, 98 and so forth for anything other than fiddle farting -if at all- where the start menu became a key feature to productivity. All modern GUI based operating systems have a sort of "start menu", micro$hit's (Ballmer's?) decision to pull it, in lieu of a tablet OS for a desktop, was an awful mistake in the enterprise world. Desktop users didn't care for it much but most (older generation for example) just accepted it. Windows 8 was the equivalent of Vista launching, so many problems, bugs, etc and now with most OEM computers rarely giving Windows 7 as an OS option now, a lot of people are unhappy with it being forced to use Win8 or spending the unnecessary time needed to reinstall Win7 if that is even possible with the drivers availability being hit or miss.

reflex Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I disliked Windows 8 at first but now I like it better than 7. It will grow on you in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I disliked Windows 8 at first but now I like it better than 7. It will grow on you in time. I think of it more as a weed then a plant. I'm not one of those people where like "OLD IZ ALWAYS BESY HEURHRURHRUHEUEHEUEEHEUHRHEHEHRHH" but when it comes to like Windows 8, I'd probably never want to use it. Seriously, I love Windows 7 too much. When Windows 10 comes out, probably, but Windows 8 is just Vista 2.0 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
