Default Windows 8

I several years ago I bought an HP Stream Table with an Intel Atom
processor, 1GB of memory, and 32 GB of storage. I added a 32 GB sd card
to increase the storage.

It came with Windows 8 installed. It easily upgraded to Windows 10 but
with each subsequent upgrade I am having increasing problems getting the
upgrade install.

The Fall creator edition 1709 failed, several times. I was able to
remove the install files from the Softwaredistribution folder and get
the computer operational. This last Tuesday patch failed, and I can not
get it to install. I will have again delete the 10's of thousand files
from the Softwaredistribution folder.

This small computer is becoming less capable of accepting the updates,
but MS continues to keep trying to upgrade the computer. All that
happens is 10's of thousands more files with each failed upgrade/update.

How can I reinstall the original Windows 8 OS on this computer? Yes it
is obsolete, but will be supported until 2023, after that it will still
work. Staying with Windows 10, at some point it will become unusable as
even if I can get the upgrades installed it will out grow the 32GB of
storage available.
