You can go back it's your not happy with Windows 8.1.
Are you sure? That's not what the FAQ implies. In fact, this is why I was asking Shan about whether an uninstall was working after installing from the Store. The FAQ does not make that clear IMO. Otherwise, I think "going back" would
entail using an image as close as possible to the time that you did the upgrade. I don't even have an expectation of a Restore doing that. That's why I had been "musing about" making an image when the 15 minute timeout made my decision moot.

Sorry, it's not in the
FAQ it's a caveat in the download page:

If you decide that you want to install Windows 8.1 Preview using the ISO, you won't be able to uninstall it. If you decide to go back to your previous operating system, you'll need to reinstall it using the recovery or installation
media that came with your PC, which is typically DVD media.
