Did you grab your Windows 8.1 PC update yet?

Still running Windows and must admit that I am a bit skeptic getting Windows 8.1. I really hated the interface when I had Windows 8 installed. The only thing I liked was the quick startup.

I've just updated my Windows 8 and i've got many new features, they looks awesome! but i don't know why my PC's speed getting low because of this? Any solution? or i have to re-install my old window?

Do note, after you install this update your PC will be loading for some time with high hard-disk usage whilst it configures the newly installed updates when you're on your desktop after restarting the computer.
I experienced that with both my PC and laptop after doing this latest update. It took 10-20 minutes then the system was working as it should.

As i contact a software master to check my PC, he have told me to re-install the window, Becuase Windows 8.1 is full of problems, i was sure that the software master gets really mad. Than i thought to contact you, guys. As devin said, i will follow you. Lets see what happen.

I went from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 last night and at first my computer began acting up and crashing, but that was because it was installing my drivers, etc while I was playing, I also noticed, It installed the latest AMD Drivers on my system and I didnt even know. 

Overall I like the interface, if you arrange it into categories etc Games, work, and social, it is really helpful.
worth the upgrade!

By the sound of it I maybe should re-consider to upgrade to Windows 8.1. My computer is also made compatible specific to Windows 8 so maybe another reason to upgrade it.

Windows 8/8.1 takes a little time to get used to it, but at the end of the day I find it a lot easier to navigate and to work with than Windows 7 because of things like the "start menu" and performance wise changes.

As I am typing this, I am on my third disk (Back up)

Windows 8.1 requires 5 back up disks, I just lol'd as I sat there looking at my one windows 7 disk.

Horrible horrible OS, I cant wait to install 7.

Your personal opinion on your experience with the system, I have yet to fault it for gaming or work.
I still can't see what the issue is with Windows 8/8.1 according to others.

Windows 8 has it's drawbacks but you shouldn't forget about the scale of the software. You gotta commend microsoft, they could of just built on top of windows 7 and made some nice money. Instead they decided to rewrite a ridiculously large part of the code. The fact that it's got so little bugs compared to what it should have is astounding in it's own degree.

Windows 8/8.1 has significant performance increases, i'd say due to these rewrites. One strange thing was that several of my games didn't work in 8/8.1 but since i got a gfx card that part seems to of solved itself out.

A rather important feature to me was the fact that you can burn CDs and DVDs with Windows itself, along with mounting ISO files and being able to use them without the need for third party software.

There are various items within Windows 8/8.1 that would make it appealing to many however getting used to the change takes some time.

[Kaze]

Its mostly due to the fact that I can not be bothered to adapt.

RS5 - Windows 8
RS4 - Windows 7
