downgrade to windows 7 it is the best windows made by microsoft,windows 8 is an operating system mainly suited for soft touch pads, windows phones,tablets, it is has a poor user experience in pc's.., wimdows 8 is windows best suited for touch screen technology,and that's why it didn't last in the market, now microsoft is developing windows 9..

Mtchew. I still don't get why people find Windows 8 difficult to operate.

Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by Cooluche: 10:49am On Dec 26, 2014
Just like the other person said, it depends on your hardware. I have been using Windows 8.1 and I'm enjoying it

op try and update your phone to window 8.1
go to setting, you will see phone update.
then check for update.
ever since i updated my window 8.0 to window 8.1 it has become easier to use

It's PC not phone
Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by Chukky86: 11:25am On Dec 26, 2014
@ Op I guess you bought a system with AMD processor, you get that hotness when there is no way for the pc to cool down, that is why your pc keeps hanging. Get an extra external cooling fan for laptop. Thank me later. Laptops with amd comes cheap, always go for intel.

This is just like someone using a low spec tecno phone and when the phone lags he blames android kit Kat for it.

Your system was probably upgraded. I have been using win 8 for like 2 yes now and it is the best. Never had a blue screen, mouse cursor never hung for once and I am a multitasker. Your system hardware specs may be too low for win8. Mine came with win7 and I upgraded it myself. I am sure you will have a better experience with another system. Try to downgrade yours to win7, who knows, u may still continue experiencing same issues.
Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by lion042(m): 11:44am On Dec 26, 2014
You can still format your laptop and install window7, that's what i did to my own laptop and its working normal

Simply Downgrade to windows 7. #teamwindows7

Is it possible to do a downgrade?

I upgraded my win7 to 8, now I'm in so much regrets.
It makes my laptop battery heat up, initially I thought it was a battery pro and then I changed the battery but it continued..
Now, the laptop will just come up and after displaying some error messages, it shuts down on its own.. sad
Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by Misogynist2014(m): 12:00pm On Dec 26, 2014
I use Windows 8.1 on my Sony Vaio and I love it. Gets easily hot though.
Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by whyx06(m): 12:02pm On Dec 26, 2014

Window 8 rock......
Re: My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by deuce7(m): 12:04pm On Dec 26, 2014
Please don't mislead people. Windows 8 is very good. I think you have mastered windows 7 that's why you are keen on it. Am so enjoying my windows 8 like kilode. I believe with time you will get used to it and it's improved abilities.

About the problems you are having, I think your system has a problem not the OS.

Not all laptops can upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 without issues. System requirements and upgrade rights are imperative, to avoid conflicts between the hardware and software.

Best to get a Windows 7 installation disc and re-install. Make sure all important drivers and files are backed up.

Switch your pc from BIOS to boot from CD. Get a windows 7 restore/re-installation disc and repair.
NB: After all drivers and data backup, get a diskwipe software, wipe ssd or hdd to clean state and re-install windows 7(this is the process I would undertake, to get rid of all traces of windows 8.
