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.

idonteveninto 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.

I love how people are confused by Windows 8.1. Are you a simpleton? It's simple, easy and fast to use. Gotta love that 5 second boot.

ZENU96 I find window 8 really confusing on a pc.
Me to I actually very much prefer Windows 7 maybe because I am more used to it.

Just throwing it out there, entered the "ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade]ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade" into the search bar and nothing was found, the update is on the homepage of the Windows store and is downloaded in sample packs.
