Windows did not actually update (SOLVED)
So tonight I decided to update to 8.1 on my custom gaming pc. I click "update and shut down", It goes through all the normal processes. I restart the machine, it configures updates, etc. one problem. I have no start button or any new features, and my OS is still recognized as windows 8 pro on the control panel. It seems that the update was never applied, but I can't redo it. any suggestions?
EDIT: ohmygod I'm an idiot. I did not even apply 8.1 to be in the update list.
