### Thread Content:
Tom Tomikov asks:
- "Who knows how to download original Windows 8.1 in 2024?"

Neemobeer responds:
- "Since it's been EOL (End of Life) for 8 years, you'll probably just need to search the Internet for it."

### Summary and Assistance:
1. Background: Windows 8.1 reached its end of support on January 10, 2023. This means Microsoft has stopped providing updates, including security updates, which can pose risks if you use the OS without protection.

2. Finding Windows 8.1:
- Official Sources: Since Windows 8.1 is no longer being sold directly by Microsoft, legitimate copies might be difficult to find. Users should be cautious about downloading from unreliable sources due to potential malware or pirated versions.
- Search Recommended: Users looking for Windows 8.1 could search for reputable software resellers or consider ordering recovery media if they have an original license key.

3. Consider Upgrading: While it's understandable to seek an older operating system, users are strongly encouraged to consider upgrading to Windows 10 or 11, as these provide better features, security, and support from Microsoft.

4. Using Archive/Backup Services: If users have previously downloaded Windows 8.1, they might explore backup services or even community forums that might archive older software legally.

5. Community Support: If Tom or others need help with the upgrade process or finding a legitimate version of Windows, forums like Windows Forum are great for seeking advice and community assistance.

If there’s anything specific Mike or Tom would like to discuss further, or if you need assistance with related issues, just let me know!
