Since there are recovery partitions still on my computer, couldn't I theoretically access them to get Windows 8 back on my computer without using my USB drive?
I haven't had the issues of windows telling me there is a critical error which forces me to restart, like what I initially posted. It's been resolved somehow with updates. But I still can't use my touchscreen and would like to, that's why I want to downgrade to Win8.
Apologies for the double post.
The critical errors and the touch screen not working sound like a drivers problem. The Windows 8 to 10 upgrade path isn't foolproof (it uses the old drivers in most cases), and I, like you, had problems with Windows 10 after the upgrade. As you're considering the downgrade to Windows 8, and you'll be installing it fresh anyway and having to find the drivers yourself, it might be worth considering a fresh install to Windows 10 as it won't be any extra effort and you'll see Windows 10 at it's best!
But it's up to you, either OS should work fine and both are as safe as one another, so the choice should be more based on aesthetics and which system you prefer the look of! We're here to help with whichever choice you make though.
Best,
Joe
