I am downloading Windows 8.1 from the Store as I write this. It just showed up in the Store @ 06:00 MST
One can keep working while it is in progress.
Just felt it worth mentioning that what is being given, for free, is Windows 8.1 Prowith Media Centre.
And there is a plethora of Store APPs labeled as Windows 8.1 compatible.
Cheers, Drew
Well, that was certainly quick & painless. Seriously, nothing could be easier. Click to get it started, DLs & Installs, a Restart to complete... fill a couple of boxes and DONE.
First couple of commands or clicks to get to this forum and immediately the wonderful performance of 8.1 is noticeable.
Even set ups I had from running the 8.1 Beta are retained. NOTHING, from my 8.0 set up has been lost or changed.
A very clever and pleasant migration from one's Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
