There is no such thing as Windows 8.3 (at least right now). There is Windows 8.1 Update 3. Did they tell you they installed 8.3 in the documentation (who is 'they' btw)? This link explains what 8.1 Update 3 is - http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-has-quietly-released-windows-81-update-3-november-update

If it says that you have Windows 8.3 installed...then I'd be concerned.

Speaking of 8.1....

Is there an internal way of making 8.1 behave/look like Windows 7 or do you have to use an external program to get the computer to do that?

They must have just meant update 3 then. Good that it still shows 8.1...
