I bought a Laptop with Windows already installed, I really don't like Windows 10 and would like to take this Laptop to Windows 8.1, I have looked on you tube for help but can't seem to find what I am looking for, Please could anyone tell me if I need a product key or could i download the ISO from Microsoft and what is a Bio, I would be very grateful for any help.
I have an Acer Aspire E15 523

Was Windows 8.1 originally installed on that computer when you got it? Because when you upgrade to Windows 10 Microsoft lets you have the option to rollback from Windows 10 for up to 30 days. You can downgrade after 30 days...but you would need to do a clean install. But first need to know if this was upgraded from another version of Windows.

In that case, if this is a proper install of Windows 10 and not a upgrade, you would need to buy a new Windows 8.1 product key.
