One of our users computer automatically upgraded from windows 8 pro to 8.1 and keeps asking for activation code. It is not accepting the code that we had for 8 pro. I called activation phone help, and they transferred me to tech support, they transferred me 4 more times, and finally told me to put a request in online and i would be charged for it. So I really need to get back to Windows 8. Is there a way? Thank you.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
