You might want to give Classic Shell a try - it's free and alleviates a lot of the pain of Windows 8.

If you want to use the downgrade rights, see here

Note that all software support is only for Windows 8.1, so you're on your own with Dell if you use 7.

Downgrading is not free however.
Downgrade rights for Windows software
The following OEM versions of Windows software are eligible for downgrade rights.
