Question for you IT gurus

#1 Post by Beebs52 » Fri Jun 27, 2014 5:02 pm

How easy would it be to uninstall Windows 8 from our laptop and install 7 or 10 or something. I hate 8 with blinding madness of 700 psychopaths.
Well, then

Let me ask my new boss. He'll know.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

If you don't care about saving any installed programs, it is easy.

I'm keeping whatever version I have now until they come out with something that isn't described in terms of hatred and animosity.

Yes, you can wipe your disk and install anything you want. Forget about preserving any applications though.

What do you hate about Windows 8? Perhaps you don't know how to make it look almost like Windows 7?
