Installing Classic Shell will make W8 look like W7, or any earlier version you prefer. Instant conventional Start button, hey presto!

Why not try to be helpful and post a list of these bugs you're aware of?

Now if you don't mind I'm rather busy and have no desire to be beaten by your experience and brought down to your level.

OP here are your choices .
One downgrade to Win 7 costs about £70 possible warranty and driver problems .
Two learn Win 8/8.1
Three Use as many of us do Classic Shell on Win 8 .
Four stick with Win 8 and take the free update to Win 10 due in a few days .
Five learn how to use Linux .

Obviously you cannot use Google as it's too technically challenging. Let me hold your hand and we'll do little baby steps, here you are, wade through this lot and take your pick:

So you come to a discussion, say that a piece of software has bugs and then expect everyone else to do the work to find out what the bugs are?

If you are aware of bugs with Windows 10 that will affect the OP using his laptop for internet browsing, music, and general usage (Office, games etc), then just list them rather than expecting others to search them out.

Oh, and I am capable of googling, I'm just not willing to spend my time searching for something that you apparently already are aware of?

Judging by the OP's questions alone, I'm guessing he doesn't know much about computing and therefore uses his laptop for word documents, internet browsing, maybe some music and games?

I am fairly confident there won't be a bug in Windows 10 that stops the OP doing any of the above and if there was, it would be sorted in a couple of days.

I'll second this........It's a shame someone else didn't read it properly and got a bit bent out of shape.

Can take a closer look when it arrives. No need to rush into Windows 10.
Might cost nothing to swap to Windows 7.

Lots of different opinions . Thanks all, yes you're right I only use it for browsing (comper) and looking at pictures of cats on Facebook-nothing too taxing. I think I'll stick with it for now.
