You need to post your exact system specs. It may be possible to clean install win8 however some hardware is not supported in win8 [that is why you need to post specs]
You do understand that you would need a new lic to run win8 [if it is possible]
FWIW win10 is the superior operating system.

The short answer is 'yes.' I "upgraded" to Windows 8.1 from the horrible Windows 10 as soon as I bought my Dell laptop 2+ years ago. However, with your self described Windows inexperience I do not recommend for you to do so, as driver problems are only one of the annoyances you will encounter.

Better to try to find a refurbished/used computer with Windows 8.1 already installed.
