8.1 uses metro plus is also unsupported i'd recommend using 10. also you can use windowblines to make it look like vista / 7. sadly its not free

Considering an upgrade to Windows 8.1? Well, it depends on your specific needs. Windows 8.1 offers improvements over its predecessor, with enhanced features and better performance. However, when it comes to boosting your system's speed, the choice between HDD vs SSD servers is crucial. Opting for an SSD ensures faster data access, quicker boot times, and an overall snappier experience. Evaluate your requirements and decide what suits you best!
