Staring from the beginning,

I downloaded the windows 10 upgrade when it first came out, and tried to revert to windows 8.1 the next day, this caused the computer to go wrong, not allowing me to view files and go online....

I took the PC to the local pc shop, they reset the pc and did a clean install of windows 10, even though we wanted windows 8.1, this worked, and I have left it, however now, I want to go back to windows 8.1, and have it stay that way.

I have backed up the pc, and have bought a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 as a disc, along with activation code. How do I go about installing this from the disc, and how do I get rid of windows 10, without it just reinstalling itself, from the recovery media the shop created on the disc partition.

Sorry if this is confusing, but that is what it has been for me in this process.
