For Windows 8 users who are reluctant to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and subsequently to 8.1 Update 1, there is no rush to do so immediately. Microsoft has provided a timeline for support and upgrades as follows:
- Support End Date: Windows 8 will continue to be supported by Microsoft until January 12, 2016, as mentioned on Microsoft's lifecycle page. Users are advised to make the transition to Windows 8.1 and any future Windows releases before the support deadline to ensure ongoing support from Microsoft.
