I reverted back to 7 it was driving me nuts.
Yeah it is a bit of a leap from Windows 7 mate. I have been using Windows 8.1 for a good while now, so not so much of a toxic shock for me.
I would say that Window 7 was probably the best all round of the lot, the only things Window 8.1 was better was drivers and stability, as it never crashed and seemed to run anything with no problems.
Hopefully Windows 10 will prove equally robust.
