Hi - currently Win 8 on a PC... I'm not saying i did the rght thing but I have updates set to 'notify me-then i'll choose what to install ''because when checking on a KB update i saw that it would allow Win.8.1 to be installed automatically. I have not visited the 'Store' recently to see if i'm eligible for the download to 8.1 but last trip to Store, months back, i was.
question 1: must i have the pre-requisite KB's that Microsoft tried to install as 'updates' in place before updating from Store?;
question 2: When will Microsoft stop supporting Win 8 totally (or in part)....
question 3: should i do any pre-install 'maintenance' i.e. error ck/disk clean/defrag/a-v scan, etc before upgrading to Win.8.1
I read of unsuccessful attempts on ''boards' to do the Upgrade to 8.1.and not being computer-savy ...i don't even know how to get to Administrator selection or get to the 'safe mode' ! - i am the owner/only user and listed as ''administrator'' when retailer did the set-up for me after i bought this compter .... if that means anything insofar as the upgrading to 8.1. bottom line - i dread doing this - LOL
thanks in advance for any help.... Edythe
