    I was thinking of doing that anyway. If I reinstall should I do the standard KMS activation through the command line and leave it at that? Also, would UpDown8 be of any use to me? ( forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/36726-UpDown8-Windows-8-Upgrade-Downgrade-Helper )

    yes it will help you to downgrade but , please just install afresh because both will more or less take same time.

    Okay so when I tried to boot from the install DVD I got the error code 0xc00000e9 "an unexpected I/O error has occurred"... What now? Should I make a USB drive to install?

    As setup seems to be unable to read some info, try creating USB-Media.

    Same error as above will happen if I use to place Office ISO's first and that Vision ISO's. Th Office ISO will be working and the error come up at the Vision ISO.

    I also downloaded several other Vision Pro's and all giving the same error.

    I did browse through a number of previous pages and so on, wasn't able to sense anything on the topic of servers and/or the method being invalid.. thanks for the reminder.

    I activated 7 days ago, can I activate again to regain 180 days?


    I installed, after 10 days I activated, my question is, after 180 days, is my 30 days to activate is only 20 days or 30 days again?

    You can reactivate as often as you want, you´ll always get 180 days more :D. In opposite to Win 7 there is no 30 days grace period in Win 8, you´ll only get a watermark/nag screen in case you miss it to reactivate within 180 days.
