    If a computer came preinstalled with Windows 10, Can I download windows 8.1 and use that...


    I got my computer preinstalled with Windows 10, but I don't like how it functions and downloaded the Windows 8.1 ISO file on Microsoft.com. Can I use the Windows 8.1 ISO instead of the Windows 10? If so, how do i set it up correctly?

    :)

    Windows 10 forced download

    I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .
