Rolling back to Windows 8.1
I updated to Windows 10 a about 10 days ago. For a while all of my
programs worked. Then Word Perfect started locking up. now McAfee is not working the way it should I have decided to go back to Window 8.1 as I was very satisfied with is performance and all of my programs worked. It I roll back to Windows 8.1 from Windows 10 is it a true roll back or is it just a disguised Windows 10 pretending to be Windows 8.1/ Will programs that previously worked under Windows 8.1 work when I roll back.

Basically answered in the windows-10 newsgroup. Unless a user installed program was installed while in Windows 10 or upgraded while in Windows 10 then it should work just fine after a roll back. With the above said, some anti-virus programs that update daily might need to be re-installed for example depending on how extensive the program upgrade was.

[...] Will programs that previously worked under Windows 8.1 work when I roll back. Why not get back to us after a couple weeks, and let us know? Good luck with that. -- Best regards, Neil

Roll back methods (e.g. Go Back feature in Win10, Image created from 3rd party, etc.) are point in time. - you end up with a device at the point in time the upgrade occurred (Go Back) or the date of the created image (Acronis, Macrium). Which method will you use (Win 10's Go Back, 3rd party image, other) ? -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience

I don't intend to upgrade from windows-7, but if you don't roll back prior to installing the macrium backup, don't you risk getting MS confused regarding validation. HS
