Rejected from returning to Win 8.1
I Just installed Windows 10 free upgrade from Windows 8.1 last night and like a lot about Windows 10 better but I am getting a lot of error files when trying to open files saying things like:
"Can not complete the task because there is not enough space on your computer..." - when there is well over 80 gigs of Free Space remaining.
-or-
"Location is not available ... The file or folder is corrupted or unreadable" .... when the files seem to be in perfect order.
Worst of all for me is when I open a JPG in my photo software, everything goes fine except the photo displays as one black square ... but will key up in Paint perfectly.
So because of all the bugs, I decided I want to get out of the Windows 10 nightmare and go back to the Windows 8.1 nightmare. Only when I try to do that, more errors pop up blocking me from doing so.
I go into Settings/Update & Security/Recovery and Click the option to Go Back to 8.1 ... only this error pops up:
"The procedure entry point ?GetArchitectureString@OperatingStringUnBCL@@SAPEBK@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library. C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\SetupPlatform.dll."
I've searched the error on Google for a solution and they don't even pop up a hit so I suppose I am the only one receiving that error.
So now I am stuck in Windows 10 getting error files galore and can not even return to my previous Windows system where I wasn't ever receiving any of these errors at all.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to get my Windows 8.1 back please?
