Yes, I'm resurrecting an old thread rather than starting a new one..

I've twice tried Windows 10, and twice have reverted back to Windows 8.1. My laptop just seems to run better on the older OS, and the specs aren't even that bad.. Agreed, the metro interface is awful, but with a little application called Classic Shell, it can run exactly like Windows 7 with the added advantage of being able to run Windows 8 apps (not that I've found any that I'm overly bothered about!).
