I have two machines I upgraded from 7 to 8 at about the same time within a week of each other. Now yesterday I had a pop up message from Microsoft to say that I could download / upgrade to the 8.1 for free. So I checked the site and it was genuine so downloaded and installed the 8.1 and reinstated the Classic Shell and it is up and running fine.
Now the laptop has had no such message and I am wondering if anyone knows why I should be offered the 8.1 on one machine yet not the other??
