    Can I downgrade Windows 10 to Windows 8?


    Windows 8 does everything I need on my older computer. I don't like all the excess bloat of Windows 10 that came with my newer computer.


    Also Windows 10 had an error, and despite doing everything a Microsoft chat person told me earlier today, I still couldn't get it to boot up again. I see no benefits to having it.


    So anyway to trade in Windows 10 for a copy of Windows 8? Didn't Microsoft let people downgrade like that before?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
