Just a heads up - if you upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 all of your programs will uninstalled.
Make sure you deactivate any Adobe products, have all your software and codes handy.
I also recommend backing up all email and browser data etc.
What a pain in the royal.....
wow! good thing I'm staying with 7.
How do you like 8.1 ? Is it finally good for a no-BS business desktop or still a mishmash for touch pads?
Speed and reliability very good. The search feature is much improved.Quote:

I just checked my calendar to see if it was 1 April!
Apple is also going the Touchpads for The Content-Consuming Public route (I think they invented it). I just read the newsletter of a local Mac Certified Geek (or whatever they're called) cautioning not to go to their new OS yet. They always release them before they're ready. When I first switched to Mac (when my PC workstation died just after Vista had come out), I found myself with a new OS that it took Apple a year to get halfway right, and when the next one came out they actually admitted it was a package of bug fixes. Then the Touchpad decline started. I keep fantasizing about Unix.
Apple has so far stayed away from touchpad computers and may never go there. If Apple offered, say a touchpad Macbook Air, why would anyone by an iPad? I have two Macs at home and used one to test Mavericks- Mac OS X 10.9. So far I can report no issues at all and ended up putting it on both my machines. Goes without saying I did not do this without a very recent Time Machine backup on each. It even had no problem with the older drivers for my Epson wide-format printer- a 10 year old 7600! By the way Diane, if you own a Mac you own a Unix machine already. No need to fantasize!
Yeah, I know its Unix-based but could do without some of the OS bling. I know it's not true touchpad but I get the feeling that's the perception they want. Just being old and crabby.
Mmmm I upgraded to 8.1 and no problem at all, I wonder what happended in your case, may be Windows bahave in a different way depending on countries?
