Windows 8.1

[cupotee]

I see its about to be released.

Will there be a link anywhere I can follow how to install it please.

It has been available in the UK for a few hours - if you are upgrading from 8 to 8.1 go to the Windows Store on the start screen, and be prepared for a 3GB download.

Thank you bibblebub

[bibblebub]

you're welcome, cupotee, and i'm in the middle of what looks to be a 5 1/2 hour download

I think the world and its mother are downloading it at the moment.

Give it a few days to settle down.

We've been waiting a year for it, another few days wont hurt.

took me 4 hours to d/load and install.

Its the largest and longest ever install i have ever done and this is supposed to just be an upgrade ?
and all for what, the usual cometic tinkering, the under the hood stuff the majority of people wont even realise

and dont be fooled by the re-introduction of the Start button...its nothing of the sort...use classic shell or Iolo start menu

MS certainly know how to alienate users...i've got to do this on 5 machines thanks to MS in their infinite wisdom of not making it available as an .iso image

oh yeah, did i mention you can now resize app tiles !?.....yeah , big deal, especially if youre not using Metro...no wonder in deepest darkest Richmond theyre now itching for Bill G to go, perhaps theres some at MS who have finally realised that due to the massive sales drops that they will have to start giving consumers what they want rather than giving them what MS thinks they want....we live in hope
