i have had windows 10 installed on m,y pc since july 30ish....and ever since i upgraded to windows 10 from 8.1 the pc has been locking up every time i try to do anything...something as simple as opening my documents causes the pc to use 100% disk too the point i have to reset......i was hoping i could install windows 8.1 since i still have the key by using the upgrade assistant but when i tried to run it it said "this system is unsupported"
and i have tried everything i could think of to fix the 100% disk issue nothing has worked
any ideas would be greatly appreciated

download and create windows 10 setup media > Windows 10
clean install windows 10 - when asked for key - just Skip over the key screen

or just download and create windows 8.1 setup media > Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

To do a clean installation - you have the boot your PC from the setup media.. Once you get to the partitions screen - you can delete every partition on the disk and allow windows to install to the unallocated disk space

if you have multi hard drives - unplug the other, non windows drive(s)
keeps you from installing to wrong drive
