Win. 8/64 bit
Lenovo PC
=======================
i have gotten nice feed=back insofar as my updating to 8.1 pros/cons. Now reading some other boards i'm hearing about ''drivers' corrupted/ printers not working/ trying to turn on computer after the 8.1 install resulting in ''blue'' screens happening/not being able to even have the computer turn on ../ or having to reinstall previous programs,etc. etc. if you can get it to boot up. .... frankly it's all giving me a good case of ''cold feet' insofar as the 8.1 update.
As i mentioned before i do no 'business' (banking/paying bills, etc on line) i only do emails/read papers/ save a few files to PDF/ have McAfee Security Suite + 2 maleware programs. I don't click on hyperlinks even if i know the person sending the email containing them and don't reply back using the ''reply'' button to ask if indeed they sent the email containing the hyperlink; i simply start a new email form for safety's sake.
i realize Microsoft will not be supporting Win. 8 but i couldn't go thru all of the above stress if the 8.1 install doesn't 'take' or causes problems as above. So as of this junction, i'm staying with Win. 8. Not saying i'm making a wise decision but my crystal ball is at the cleaners.... best to anyone reading this ..
PS: I DO have the 8.1 required KB 2861389/KB3008273 downloaded as updates but do not have ''auto install' for the updates so KB3008273 cannot do the auto install of 8.1....i choose what i want .... i did read they can be 'uninstalled' but i had tried to do that with another update only to have the 'uninstall' cause problems (thankfully my Lenovo 'rescue'' program took over) !! sheesh - what's with Microsoft ?
