mike13 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am currently running Windows 8.0 I never updated to Windows 8.1 Now I believe that Win 8.1 Update will be released on April 8th as an Automatic Update, you will NOT need to go to the Windows Store to get it. So, a few questions...should I update to 8.1 now, and then get the update next week, and do it in steps, or is the Win 8.1 update all inclusive, and I should just wait for it to be released next week sometime. I guess I should also change how I get updates. Probably change it to, Notify me, but not download or install etc. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand.Is the stone ax is better than the iron ax?There are compatibility problems with some devices originally released with Windows 8. Believe it or not, there are all sorts of weird problems with 8.1 on these machines, and Microsoft don't seem to care at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike13 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I agree. That is why I have been waiting so long to update to 8.1 Hopefully by now, most of the issues have ben worked out. The only reason I am thing about updating now is because I often get that message that "Internet explorer has stopped" etc. for various reasons. I am hoping with IE11 that problem will be gone.

But unfortunately I do not have these problems. I use only the most recent software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had problems with IE10, it was crashing all the time and usually when I was closing it so I did a reinstall of Windows 8 from the recovery partition and now things are better (IE10 still crashes but not all the time). Anyway I think you can download and install IE11 on Windows 8, isn't it correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
