Sorry if this was asked before,

Someone once linked to a driver that converts windows 8 to windows 7 or XP. Anyone know where I can find such a thing?

Can you please better explain your question.
A "driver" is software that allows a piece of hardware to communicate with your OS.
What are you trying to do?

I think it's start menu 8 by iobit

Go to device manager, uninstall the wireless card, reboot and let it reinstall.

Another think to check if it has an on/off switch.

That bad?

Benefits are increased stability, better optimised for 8 core processors, better optimised for low power processors, some UI improvements, faster start-up time.

Are you talking from experience, or from somewhere else

I have had better performance on both desktop and laptop.

Why on earth would you want to do that if its a convertible.
Just think of the start screen as a big start menu.

Do you have a specific reason you want 7, or just the reid that '8 is no good?'

Yup.

BTW i'm finding many systems are crawling with Windows 8 and when I change it to Windows 7 they're great.

I find that it's gotten much better with 8.1.

I've actually had reports of the opposite, and many wireless issues...
