Thanks for the input, i've created shortcuts for everything using oblytile and the start screen does look nice but i just don't like it. it feels like a mobile phone. So can i got back to windows 7 or will the key not work

Thankyou, what a relief, i've used the windows activation number before only takes a few minutes because i upgrade a lot, i like a clean install on the latest drivers.

I bought windows 7 Home from overclockers
I used upgrade assistant to get windows 8
I only do clean installs (windows disc in and delete everything on drive)
my concern was that the windows 7 code would be deactivated because of the upgrade

Cheers dude. I'm now going to reformat

I can confirm the windows 7 key still works after using the windows 8 upgrade assistant just reformatted and it activated online immediately.
no more windows 8, happy now.
thanks all for the helpful info
