Windows 8.1 Out Now

[AgnesIO]

In case you are not aware, you can now get Windows 8.1 from the Windows App Store if you are already on Windows 8 for free.

You can also purchase it if you are still on Windows 7.

Hopefully mine will be done before I go to work in 10 minutes.. it is so close to finishing!

Are you already on Windows 8? If so, it is definitely worthwhile.

Yeah, I'm on 8, just wondering if 8.1 has any significant improvements

Been using 8.1 RTM for a few months, it just feels crisper as a whole. Though I don't use the Metro UI myself as I use Start8.

A redesigned store, advanced Bing search, Start button, ability to open 4 apps at once depending on screen size, and faster IE11.

Downloading it now

It's a free update so you may as well download and install it. I haven't done it myself yet but I will do soon.

I've installed it, kind of regretting it as my sound drivers are incompatible, I think it's done something to my WiFi drivers too because it's going insanely slow now. Also Bluetooth drivers need to be reinstalled, so unfortunately not as straightforward as I would have liked.

Still, the installation of Windows 8.1 up to the point I had to use it was smooth. The Facebook app is top notch too, but I wouldn't recommend jumping straight in just yet.
