Upgraded from Win7 to Win8 and getting errors. Any way of going back? U410

Hey guys,
I just recieved my Ideapad U410 today and I was so psyched! I'm going to a seminar tomorrow, and since this is my only laptop, I really want it to work, so I can use it tomorrow.
Anyway. I figured that I might aswell just upgrade to Windows 8 right away, so after using the computer for maybe half an hour, I pay for Windows 8, and just do the install through the Windows 8 offer.
Windows 8 gets installed, and now I just keep getting errors. First of all, the Energy Management program didn't work and kept popping up everytime I restarted the computer. I downloaded a new driver for it, which seemed to fix it.
At the same time, a pop-up from Dolby Home Theater keeps popping up, telling me to install a valid driver. I've tried installing one, but either I didn't find the right one, or it just didn't work.
Then my WiFi starts going mental! After restarting the computer, it doesn't connect to the WiFi. It just sits there until I right click it to go into "Open Network and Sharing Center", and then it just hangs until I try to close the window. More hanging...... then the window closes and boom! I have WiFi! 
The WiFi also started getting slow. Now I have read about the WiFi issues, but my computer was manufactured on 8/25/12, so there shouldn't be any! ....right???
I'm now thinking of doing a clean install of Windows 7 to get it to work, but I'm hopelessely confused about how it works now that there's an SSD drive in it too. I'm used to just being on an old desktop with ONE harddrive, not all this fancy new stuff
So......... basically what I'm asking is:
- Is there a way to get my Windows 8 to work? Fixing the WiFi "hanging" and the Dolby Home Theater error?
- Am I safe from the WiFi issues since my computer was manfufactured on 8/25/12?
- Is there a guide that can show me how to do a clean Windows 7 install? Or maybe even get it back to how it was when I first recieved it?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, guys! Thanks in advance!!
Philip
EDIT: Picture of my upload speed being much higher than my download speed. Looks like I'm affected by the terrible WiFi too. http://speedtest.net/result/2359883449.png

Sorry, Apple does not support downgrading.
As to apps disappearing, it's not uncommon for apps to be removed from the app store. I have a couple of games that I play that are no longer available.
Did you install 8 'over the air'? If so, research into doing a restore. Use a computer to back up your device and then reinstall iOS8 via a computer, and then restore your data from the backup. Sometimes a clean install clears away glitches caused by over the air installs.
If you just wish to express your frustration to apple, on the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Send them feedback and let them know.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your other library/computer, or your backup copy, to your new library/computer

  • Any way of going back to io7 from io8, nothing works anymore. £500 plus worth of music apps not functioning anymore, is it really worth investing any more  time or money into this product? what a joke it is.

    Nothing works anymore. £500 plus worth of music apps and hardware not functioning, Apps that I have paid for disappearing from the store after a reset. is it really worth investing any more time or money into this product? what a joke it is becoming. This is worse than windows vista.
    Can anyone from Apple help me with this? thought not. You don't allow reverting back to earlier io versions for some strange reason. Have you forgot that we are the customer?

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup.  That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now.  Sorry.

  • Converting code from as2 to as3 and getting errors

    I am trying to get a counter that I found in as2 to work in as3 but I am getting errors when I publish.
    Here is my code:
    stop();
    var currSlide;
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(evt:Event):void
    currSlide = root.rdinfoCurrentSlide +1;
    this.curSlide_txt.text = currSlide;
    this.totSlide_txt.text = root.rdinfoSlideCount;
    any suggestions?

    no code should be attached to objects.
    most of that looks like it's useless or worse than useless.   in particular, everything in the enterframe loop looks like it serves no purpose and repeatedly does useless things.  if it is doing something useful, it doesn't need to be done in a loop.
    and setting the rgb of a color instance does nothing useful.
    the only thing useful is setting brushColor when that brush movieclip is clicked.
    so, if you have a movieclip with class = "brush" in your library, you can use:
    var brushColor:uint;
    var blackBrush:brush=new brush();
    blackBrush.col = 0x000000;
    addChild(blackBrush);
    blackBrush.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
    function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    brushColor = MovieClip(e.currentTarget).col

  • After upgrading from Win7 to Win8 Premiere Pro hangs on loading ExporterAVI.prm during start up

    I've researched this problem extensively online and via the Adobe forums. The problem seems to have a multitude of causes and solutions, none of which worked for me. The only thing I haven't tried is a complete reformat and reinstallation of my OS which seems a rediculously drastic solution for what seems like a bug with either PP CS6 or Win8.
    Also, as far as I can tell, I haven't made any other changes to Premiere whatsoever since the upgrade.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Yes, I've tried re-installing twice, but to no effect. I've tried every solution I could find online (and there were many) short of reformatting and reinstalling my OS, and nothing has worked.

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I upgraded from leopard to lion and my epson printer will not work. I get a communication error

    I upgraded from leopard to lion and my Epson printer will not work. I get a error message comunication error. What can Ido to fix this I bought a new USB cord and it did no good.

    I suddenly had the same thing happen. I've had my new iMac for 3 months and at first my Epson Artisan 50 worked okay then yesterday I started getting the same error message other people on this support site have gotten. I tried ALL the advice given (deleating the Epson files from the library folder, etc. reinstalling older software) and nothing worked. With the newest iMac (and operating system) you cannot pick and choose which version of Epson software you want. You must use the 10.8 version or it simply will not open when you've downloaded it. Finally I found the comment above by den.thed and tried the OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system suggested. As much as I hated to lose all my printing presets that took a lot of expiermentation to set up, I was desperate. I tried it and it worked. Now I just have to consult my old computer and try to recreate all my printing set ups.  So to others with Epson / Apple 10.8 issues this may help when everything else fails. Thanks den.thed for your advice.

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

    If your intention is to use the trial again it will not reset if you reinstall.  It will remain in its ran out state.

    Never rely upon the iTunes Store to always have your purchases.  Always keep a copy of everything safe on a backup drive at home.
