Hi,
if you really do want to revert back to Win 7 (and I can understand there are some for whom constant change isn't what they want and perhaps can cope with) then I believe that some installations have what are called "Downgrade Rights".
This means you are entitled to install the previous version over the top without needing to buy an extra licence.
You need to check this on your copy and you'll need to get/have a disk with Windows 7. During the process you need a key from MS which I believe you can get on-line from MS or by telephone.
Before proceeding check that you've got the rights and are able to perform this process as often machines are sold without a full installation disk which might make reinstalling win 8 difficult if you get into difficulties.
But read the following link carefully as there a few provisos which might put you off;
