How to revert back to Windows 8.1 Pro

I have been looking for a long time for this and thought I would share it just in case some one else needs it.

It doesn't help you if you don't have a copy of Windows 8.1. I thought this was going to be a solution if you didn't make an image of 8.1 where you could download the OS to revert back to 8.1 if you have Windows 10 on you your Surface.

If you follow the link you will see that this is the solution for those who don't have a copy of Windows 8.1. It's what I used to revert my Surface Pro 3 back to Windows 8.1 because I didn't have a copy. You will also need to download the driver for the Wi-Fi since it won't be installed once the system is restored.
