I am purchasing an HP Pavilion 15-ac151dx and it comes with Windows 10 Pro. I personally hate Windows 10 and want to put Windows 8.1 on it. Will doing this void my warranty?

Hi,
I always say: warranty is a grey/gray area, changing OS won't void warranty if NO problem but you will have to restore it back to Windows 10 before put any claim if having any problem.
I believe HP only supports software for 3 months.
By the way, after Vista, Windows 8/8.1 is the one I hate most.
Regards.
