Can I Upgrade Win 8.0 to 8.1, or Must be Win10?
On Monday of this week, I was forced to revert back to Win 8.0 DELL OEM settings from a recent upgrade to Windows 10 (early August). I don't really want Win10; I do not intend to use new browser, I do not need voice recognition (no built-in mic), and concerned about Big Brother watching me when using Win10! (Someone told me that I should get and use a program called "Windows Destroyer" to avoid Big Brother.)
Will my present Win8.0 automatically update to Win8.1? That is what happened here when it went to 8.1 from 8.0, i.e., w/o me requesting that it be done.
Is there a resource installer available for updating from my present 8.0 to 8.1?
Thanks for reading this.
