1) Why live with something unpleasant unless you have to? Try to get it replaced/fixed/refunded. Don't worry about your lost data-- installing Unity and Blender takes maybe 15 minutes anyway. But contacting the seller for advice is good as long as the advice isn't "Nyahh nyahhh you bought it it's your problem now!" Taking it to a computer shop for a quick look-over will give you more expert advice than I can give, as well.
2) Windows 8 isn't that bad, and in some ways is better than 7. It boots MUCH faster than 7, and on newer laptops, handles shutdown and hibernation better, which means in almost every scenario, you will be able to turn on and start using your computer faster. Don't believe the M$ haters-- they exaggerate. And, as you say, Windows 10 upgrade is just around the corner anyway.
