How to refert from Windows 10 back to 8.1?

[kmmcdonald]

After upgrading my Surface Pro from W8.1 to W10, I have discovered the hard way that Windows 10, even in tablet mode, is not touch-centric. (I also think that the W10 UI is much more cluttered by comparison, but I realize that that is a matter of taste.)

How can I revert my Surface Pro from W10 back to W8.1?

thanks

Go to Settings > Update > Recovery, than select "Go back to 8.1".
Note: If 30 days have passed you'll not be able to revert to previous OS version.
