Should I downgrade to Windows 8.1 or stick with Windows 10?

I recently updated my OS to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1

However, upon upgrading, I found out that my MSI laptop doesn't have a Windows 10 driver for my touchpad. This means I can't use my multi-touch gestures for my touchpad.

I contacted MSI and they basically said that since they did not advertise this laptop to be a Windows 10 device, they could not create a Windows 10 driver for it.

Thoughts?

Stick with Windows 10 as TH2 update is near, and it will be even better.

Windows 10 has quite a few glitches that needs to be worked out. I'd stick with 8.1 until they get fixed.

i'd just stick with whatever I had and wait a couple months / a year till Microsoft gets their poop together and fix all the mistakes that countless people are gonna have.

I'm just going to stick with windows 8 until there is a significant amount of driver support for my hardware and peripherals in Windows 10.
