My mom bought a laptop with windows 8 on it and its absolutely horrendous, I have tried start8 and classic shell, neither can take all the of the stupidity out of windows 8, she is no techy so navigating Windows 8 for her is non-existent. I was able to get windows 7 to install but it will not boot, i get a BSOD 0x000000a5 error with CSM enabled and it boots straight into the BIOS with CSM disabled, secure boot is also disabled. I updates the BIOS for good measure, also no luck. I would rather use Ubuntu or OSX than Windows 8 or just about every other OS. I have downgraded other computers to Windows 7 with no problems but this gives me problems, it seems like its physically unable to run windows 7

The Windows 7 version just flies, I was so happy with it that I bought an SSD to make it that much better, the Windows 8 version blows, even bone stock its sluggish
