Should I update to windows 8.1?

[Lewis]

I keep hearing negative things about it and that it's having a lot of problems, alongside some positive things.

Should I download windows 8.1 or not? Is it worth downloading?

I have it, but some of the things annoy me on it. Some of the things that worked with 8 don't work with 8.1 (for me anyway). For example, the default image viewer doesn't work until about 20 minutes after I've clicked it. On my browser I can't see sizes of files such as avatars and signatures either.

I have encountered a total of zero problems with it but then again I don't use the crappy app-like screen I use the desktop and stuff so there might be an issue with the random tiles

I didn't have any problems with it at first but recently it's been slowing down when I do certain things, the main one is searching with the start menu, it lags for ages - no idea why. I have the same problem with the default image viewer, it doesn't open for ages then says something along the lines of program timed out.

You should be able to still see this on images:



Unless you are using the built in IE on the start screen.

Yes you should x Although I have raged many times (which is actually down to my crappy laptop make instead) it is quite good.

Windows 9 is expected to be out in a year/just under though, so if you have the patience to wait for that then do.

I see that, but on size it always comes up as not available, it didn't used to.
