I need to get rid of windows 8.
I bought a HP Pavilion all-in-one Windows 8, not a touch screen. I hate windows 8. I'm a typist. I spend more time trying to find/load a program that I'm using a program. I don't like these tiles running all the time. My computer is slower than my OLD Vista I had before this one. Can I get rid of windows 8 and install windows 7 without all these tiles? I'm NOT a gamer, do not load the music or videos, not on social media other than email. I want to just do my job and not be disturbed by this thing to know. HELP me before I throw this expensive useless computer at the door.

My real opinion: the system back and get one with Windows 7 pre-installed. Yes. They exist.
Otherwise...
Make sure that the manufacturer supports the system in question with Windows 7 (with drivers and software download for Windows 7).
Get (probably buy) Windows 7.
Install Windows 7.
Install Windows 7 drivers for the hardware.
Install all the software you need / use it.
Update, patch, etc.
Use.

How can I get rid of Windows Mail?
I have Windows Vista and I have this stupid Windows mail that comes with it. I never use this program and I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of it. I also went to remove its files, but he says that the files were nesesary to running some programs, so I decided to not to remove. So, is it a safe way to get rid of Windows mail without messing something up? Thank you for your time and support, of lnachtigal
You cannot get rid of Windows Mail because it's part of your Vista operating system. If you use it, there should not be a problem, but you can disable it if you wish.

How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?
How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system? I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to. I just want my computer works like windows xp.
So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.
OR
do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?
In this case (start base fast and simple):
- try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
- Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
- Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
- Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.
But its still W7 in disguise.
Is that the sort of thing you mean?
If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

Gamevance is a form of malicious software that collects user information and publishes advertisements pop up on your screen. Maybe that's why Windows blocks download. If you are unable to install, it is difficult to remove. See this link for more information:
