By restoring to factory settings, you will lose everything that's saved on your computer, unless you have it backed up.
It'll be restored back to like when you first got it, with nothing on it.
If you don't want that happening, you might be able to restore it to an earlier point in time. For example, Last week.
Which, in your case, if you updated after that point, you're in luck!

Apple will not be able to downgrade your machine and preserve the state of your computer before the upgrade began. What they will be able to do however is backup your files, factory restore your computer and then restore those files back to the machine. So one way or the other you will have to do a factory reset. The only people that can restore back flawlessly are those that take Time Machine backups of their computers.
Another thing to note is that Apple will not allow you to go into recovery mode (CMD+R) and restore back in time without a time machine backup. Once you upgrade, you are unable to downgrade unless you have an old OS Installer on a USB and even if you have that you must do a factory reset. If there is anything Apple hates its when their users are not running the latest version of their software, so they make it very difficult to go back for the average joe.
The last thing to understand is that the Apple Store may have a policy about rolling your machine back to Mountain Lion, which is where it would need to go if you want to play VMK again. On Nov 28th, literally a couple of days ago Apple has dropped support completely for OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). This means that the OS is now susceptible to malicious software and viruses. The employees at Apple might be prohibited from taking your computer back to a vulnerable OS.

Update for anyone following this: I had assumed that a VMWare image I made on Windows PC would work on VMWare Fusion... So since that didn't work I have created a VMWare Fusion image using @Swimfast 's Computer !! She is kind enough to let me upload the image she's made to my Google Drive so if anyone else wants to get Windows on there Macintosh shoot me a PM and I'll help you out.
Oh, seems you've already found my shop. LOL.
Sorry about leaving btw the other day, my internet crashed right after.
I can totally do all this :P! Lucky for you, I just got done lots of work, and I might be able to get it done by tomorrow too.
all that would be amazing, but I feel like your paying to much. Let me know if you would want it for less.
Also if you have any other suggestions feel free to send a message :P. I shall start on it now!
