Trying to downgrade is fraught with peril because you may not have compatible BIOS and drivers. Before proceeding with this, download and install Classic Start and see if you aren't satisfied with it. It will give you the classic Start button and menu that we have in earlier versions of Windows 8. I'm no fan of Windows 8, but Classic Start removes most of the objections most folks have and can save you from the dangerous pursuit of trying to downgrade.

Good luck.
I bought windows 7 so I can get rid of windows 8. Is there one place I can go for instructions for backup, deleting W8 and installing W7? I am not very techie these days so easily understandable is needed. thanks.
