You buy Windows 7 and install it.

In reality though, Windows 8.1 in Desktop mode is not that different than Windows 7.
You can cause 8.1 to default to Desktop on bootup.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,

It worked for me and saved me a lot of time going from 8 to 7. Same as the other person. He did not want 7 NOT 8 or 8.1 I just hope windows 9 will be better.
