another Win8 disaster

[Ford Prefect]

So I just got my Komplete 9 update and FLStudio 11 came out so I thought I'd do a fresh install of Windows 8...why not? It's been working fine at the office for a few months...
Just after I get everything installed and activated, blablabla...I start getting start-up errors. The only recovery options Win8 offers cause you to lose anything you've installed basically...I'm f**ked...tried a little bit of everything...
I'm going back to Windows 7 now...today...there goes the day...I hope I don't have any issues activating my NI stuff...

I find Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 to be a very stable OS...

Even Mac owners have commented on just how smoothly it all runs...

Now that's saying something

We need stability in our DAWs above anything else..

If it ain't broke,there's no need to fix it
