I don't know what the problem is with that. If you want to go back to 2.8, that's cool, here are two options.
Option 1: Using Systemback, create a Live ISO of your machine that is successfully running 2.8 and install that onto your machine with the SSD. This assumes your 2.8 machine is the same in bit architecture as the SSD machine, meaning they're both 64-bit or 32-bit. More information on Systemback can be found in the Help Manual (https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/index.html) under the Tutorials section.
Option 2: A clean install of Linux Lite 2.8, with caveats.
The kernel that shipped with 2.8 is now unsupported. I would suggest you install 2.6 and Lite Upgrade to 2.8. Then you'd be on a kernel that is supported for the duration of 2.8, which is until April 2019 by the way.
The thing to look out for after installing 2.6 is you'll run into the Google Chrome issue, and you'll need to run the fix for it in order to Install Updates. That can be seen here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...inux-lite/. That issue will affect you whether you've installed Google Chrome or not.
When all of that is done, to get your kernel to the latest security update, run in a terminal:
You'll want to run that command every so often in the 2.x series. Like monthly. You don't need to in the 3.x series. There, it is done as a part of Install Updates.
