Windows 8.1 available to download now
Some users are also reporting that the "GA Rollup A" update -which leaked almost a week ago for the x64 version of 8.1- is also now available via Windows Update, so it's likely this is also now being released along with the Core App updates and Windows Store update of 8.1 for Windows 8.
If you do not have Windows 8 installed on your PC (and there's a good chance you don't), you can still update to Windows 8.1 for a fee. Windows XP, Vista, and 7 owners can go to the Windows.com website and download either the Windows 8.1 update for $119.99 or Windows 8.1 Pro for $199.99. However, as we have mentioned before, there is a little workaround that should save people with older Windows operating systems some money if they want to put in some extra effort.
You can find the upgrade in the store of by putting in "ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade]ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade" and hitting enter on your browser.

LavishBatch541NeuroUrf Oh god we got some kids who have no clue what they're talking about.Island-TimeBrad-Urfidonteveninto I'll stick with Windows 7 until MS bothers to make an actual DESKTOP operating system.
Whats wrong with 8.1? Better performance, better boot time, everything is compatible.
The actual display on it is terrible, hard to navigate and very slow...
Windows 7 > Windows 8
Brad- is 100% windows 8 is bad. Windows 7 is so much better,in display, and its jsut easy to use.
Shhh let them be, they're from the bedlam after all
i love how people say win 8 is bad, it is the exact same thing as windows 7. i have never used the tiles frequently. i turn the computer on and then i choose deskptop and i never choose to go on them again.
Windows 8 is NOT exactly windows 7. Windows 8 should be kept to touch screen monitors only. If you're a gamer, you should not have Windows 8.
Why? I'm a gamer, and I have Windows 8. 8.1 to be exact, but still. Better performance, same compatibility.

FINALLY. I've had Windows 8 for about three months now and have hated every second of it. This may help a bit.

If you're on windows 8 already you just go to the app store and it's the first thing that pops up.

Windows 8 sucks ass if you're on a regular PC. We got given touch screen laptops for college that have win8 installed. It's really nice and smooth for tablets/touch screen.
