Can you revert back to 7 easily though? One of my mates just text me saying he's tried it and really likes it. Very tempted now lol

to go back to win 7 you will have to do a fresh install mate....
If it can be downloaded as an iso then you can always dual boot 
Or install a base window7 dual boot,with your original one, and upgrade it to windows 8,leaving your original windows 7 install there

Thommo.... top man!! Worked a treat! Now to work out how to work the fecker!! lol. Was quicker to boot than Win 7 which is a good start, as Win 7 was quite quick
Rep added mate
Well dammit. Against my better judgment I went ahead and did the upgrade and everything worked fine
Then I got the god damn, lighter shade of blue - more pleasant looking BSOD. Windows restarted and tried to repair itself 4 times before it offered me advanced options to "refresh" Windows. My only option and it's taken 2 hours to get back to working. But, I've lost all my installed stuff which is very annoying. It gives me a list of what is not installed but it's a right pita to sort
grrrrrrrrrrr, Windows, I trusted you, you slapped me in the face.

speaking of logins anyone used the picture login yet? pretty cool feature like a screen lock on a phone.
did anyone have to put there product key in? it seemed to auto embed it when upgrading,
yep i got it in email when i bought mine.
That's because if you upgrade with the advisor it automatically inserts it, as it stores the key in the download folders.
If you do a clean install you have to type it in manually.

I burnt the iso but the t&c's says to install it the partition must have a previous copy of Windows installed, ie upgrade, which is what we have paid for.
Does anyone know if it will install without a previous installation?
