    Hey Marvin, welcome to tenforums.com ! :)

    Did you clean install or was it an upgrade?

    Hey, it was a clean install. I had the option before to do that and now once I took the PC to get It repaired I got it back with Windows 10 and the option to go back to windows 8.1 was gone. So the guy who repaired my PC must have removed Windows 8.1 I took it to the Best buy geek squad place, not really sure if he repaired my PC or ****ed it up.

    Yeah, a clean install will do that.

    With an upgrade you will see:

    Probably not.
    You most likely will have to download Windows 8.1 iso and perform a clean install with that.
    In other words, Start from Scratch! It's doable though!

    Not a good idea to start adding new problems to the same thread. Makes it confusing and hard to provide advice. Please start a new thread for your new problem. And if this thread's problem is fixed now, please mark it as Solved.
