I've had this computer with Windows 10 for about 3 weeks. I really want to go back to Windows 7 [View all]

Does anyone think there might be a problem with that. I am tired of having to learn new things and every time I get on this thing there is another thing that is messed up that I have to fix or plug in or download or something.
