I updated my ASUS tablet to windows 8.1 and hate it. Slows my system down tremendously. How do I uninstall it and go back to windows 8? I know there is an option to enter my original product key, but I cannot find it. Is there another way?

No need to worry, your files or pictures will not be deleted. Its only apps you installed from websites and DVDs will be removed. Apps that came with your PC and apps you installed from the Windows Store will be reinstalled. Windows puts a list of removed apps on your desktop after refreshing your PC. You can try the refresh option.

I installed 8.1 on my RT and really like it for desktop management. The problem is that I can no longer look at video clips because it says I need the latest version of Flash Player, but when I go to get it, it says that I already have it.
Another problem is that I can't navigate around some websites, and am wondering if I can download Mozilla.
Thank you.

Thank you suemonson. I thought this update was going to be awesome. Turned out to be a nightmare. I cannot find my original product key, so I feel all may be lost.
