Edit Nm fixed it. Hate cortana on my fucking phone why would I want that shit on my desktop.
After an hour I'm going back to windows 7 if I can get my CD to install. Too much shit added for me. I want an OS to be an OS, not a search engine and 200 other things. I literally want it to allow the programs I install to work, that's it. It's not a tablet, not a phone, it's an OS for a desktop.
Oh well that didn't take long.

Step 1: Don't make a Microsoft Account
Step 2: Turn off like 6 different things.
Shit is all gone. I would have uninstalled the XbroX app but it is actually an insanely efficient game recorder, better than Nvidia Shadowplay. Hopefully they add Twitch game capture.

Well, this was the obtuse reasoning used by all those that reverted back to Windows 7 because they couldn't deal with the Metro interface in Windows 8, despite the 3d party plug-ins that made it irrelevant.

Ok so how painless is the upgrade from Windows 7? Would I lose any data during the upgrade? I'm tempted to take the plunge but I don't have the energy after my surgery just yet to do a full blown OS upgrade if I've gotta hunt down drivers and shit.

And they were just as silly. Windows 8 was perfectly usable with Classic Start or whatever if you didn't want Metro. Some of the same things that made Windows 8 aggravating are still around in 10 (e.g. UAC being point blank required for some things, like Edge).

Well I'm not running anything special. Standard legit copy of Windows 7 Home. Shouldn't be an issue then. I'm just lazy right now. lol

I dual booted it on my main work pc just to demo it and make sure all my shit works with it. I'm pleasantly surprised that I haven't had to switch back to 8.1. Turned off all the privacy switches and disabled cortana. Works well. I really like Edge, My only gripe is that I still need IE for some online tools and can't use Edge because it doesnt have support for addons yet, which means no ABP or Lastpass so I have to use regular IE.

I hate this mentality. I'm still trying to figure out if I managed to disable all the relevant privacy intrusive features 2 days after installing.

After using Start8 for a while, I forced myself to use the new start screen in Windows 8 and after about 2 months I ended up liking it better.
I'm still having a bitch of a time getting this built in Mail app to send mail through my Cox SMTP server. It checks just fine from the IMAP server.
