window edition expired

[Fuuki]

so i accidently moved from win 8.1 to win 10 enterprise evaluation.
now my computer boots every hour and i have no clue what to do, i try to active my windows by installing the newest version, but it doesn't work, i tried KMSauto net didn't work either, i really don't know what do and pc shut down every hour and i can't find how to return to win 8.1 again, if i try reset all pc it keeps getting the win 10 evaluation version

friendly regards

Did you use a legal copy of win 8.1?
Since you mentioned KMSauto Net I don't think it was a legal copy and so you weren't allowed to upgrade to win10.

If you own a LEGAL win7 or win8(.1) key use it to activate a fresh win10 (home or pro) installation. If you have important data you can install the OS over the old one so you can still access your files.

If you don't own a legal copy buy one or get decent linux distribution.

Going back to 8.1 or getting an activated Windows 10 installation will both require you to do a new (clean) installation.



You will NOT be able to install 8.1/10 Core(Home)/Pro as an upgrade over your current install, as downgrading an Enterprise SKU is not supported.

Don't forget to back up any important files, installers and serials prior to the installation.
If your connection is too slow, you might also want to download this on a different machine, so that your download is not being canceled due to the automatic restarts.

You could also boot from a linux live system, save your files and format your hdd. After this you can install win8.1 again. If you don´t have a win8.1 CD you can download it at microsoft´s download portal and burn the iso file to a bootable cd.
