1400163 2015-05-07 01:07:00 Windows 8.1 back to Windows 7

I think I'll revert back to 7, My main PC (Laptop) is 7 and I use that the most. I have a desktop which has win 8 which upgraded to 8.1 then I had problems recognizing my Canon MP520 couldn't scan Then I lost my DVD rom is it me or do I need to persevere?
I have tried win 10 which is much like 8.1 and won't recognize my hardware. So I will try 7 on another HDD for a while to see how it goes!

1400165 2015-05-07 02:02:00 Is your printer connecting via wifi ?
If so, try USB ,the uninstall the printer , download the new software for 8.1 & re-install it.

Windows7 initially had issues with some mfc scanners as well.
Its not Win8 thats the issue, its flaky scanner software from the printer manufacturer (especially via wifi) .
