So I got my hands on a MSI GP60 2PE Leopard earlier this week (for a much lower price than that alienware desktop surprisingly), and it has windows 8.1 preinstalled on it. Obviously, because I'm not particularly pleased with the GUI I want to downgrade. I've looked high and low [but there's no place to gooo *tower of power*], and even registered at their official site.
Afterwards I posted in a somewhat recent thread about the issue. I'm posting here now because I wanna know if there is anything I could have potentially missed? For reference here is the link to the thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171361.0
Incidentally, what does the NLSC community think of Windows 8? I realize the controversy has lessened much over the amount of time, but I'm curious. Finally, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very comfortable modifying anything in this regard at this point. Especially if I'm relying on my own understanding, but I obviously will not hold anyone else accountable.
