comparability mode works wonders if something happens to go wrong.

I just went through setup, the start button does not impress me one bit. Is their a way I can make it look different when I right click?

It's taking an absolute forever to download it. :(

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

download was fast (for Microsoft) but it does not install and goes back back to windows 8, going to give a few day's and try again

Downloads may take time because many people were updating their PC's at the same time and it is a pretty big file ~3 gbs. (I just finished mine) Also, everything that worked in windows 8 should be working in 8.1. And idk about your PC but the speed has not changed on mine or it my have even gotten faster (probably just a placebo effect though)
