Upgrade Widows 8 to 8.1

If you are a bit skeptical about the
changes that the upgrade will do to
your system, do not. Your files and
programs will not be affected by the
update, so you will not need to
create a Backup or reinstall your
programs after the upgrade. On the
other hand, if you are curious about
the things that will change once you
upgrade, here is a quick list:
The Windows start button will be
back
The operating system’s performance
will improve
The system will become more
customizable
The SkyDrive integration will improve

1.The first thing to do is to visit the
Windows Store. If you have not
updated your operating system yet,
the first thing you will see in the
store is the Windows 8.1 upgrade
app. However, if you do not, you
might need to access it manually. To
do that, type or paste “ms-windows-
store:WindowsUpgrade” to your
browser’s address box (without the
quotes).

2.To claim the upgrade, it is
necessary that you login with your
Microsoft account first. If it is your
first time to use your account, you
might need to use of a code that
you have received from Microsoft to
confirm that you are the one who is
using the Microsoft account that you
just logged in.

3.Once those things are done, all
you need to do now is access the
app and download it. If the
download is finished, the upgrade
might ask you to restart your
computer, which you can easily do
by just pressing the Restart Now
button on the upgrade interface.

4.If the computer finishes the
restart, you will be shown the
Windows Software License Terms.
You can read the terms, and accept
it by pressing the I Accept button.
You will be then redirected to the
installation/upgrade settings page.
You have the choice to customize it
or just leave it as is. It is
recommended that you choose the
Express Settings if you are
unfamiliar with the settings shown
to you.

5.The upgrade will proceed after
those things. Once it is done, you
will be asked to login using your
Microsoft account, and to provide
some personal information. And that
is everything to it.

6.By the way, the installation will
not take a lot of time, and it is
possible that downloading the
upgrade will be the longest part of
the process. The installation package
is around 3.5GB big, so if you have
a poor and unreliable internet
connection, it will take one hour up
to one day downloading it.
Unfortunately, you can expect that
the download time will become
longer since the release of this
update is very recent (because many
Windows users are also downloading
the package from Microsoft’s
servers).
