14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 8.1 Update is now freely available to those running Windows 8.1, so Microsoft has already started its typical advertising campaign with a bunch of videos posted on YouTube.
One of the clips claims that Windows 8.1 Update allows you to “make Windows all about you,” as it has everything it needs to easily help you get things done no matter if you are using a mouse or touch.
Windows 8.1 also brings some new improvements for the Start screen, including options to quickly initiate a search, or power controls to shut down your computer faster.
“Windows is all about you and the stuff you love. Resize and group tiles to keep people, sites, and apps in perfect order. Change your Start screen background to fit your personality, or coordinate with a company color scheme. No matter what your style is, your Start screen is a perfect reflection of you,” the video description reads.
Windows 8.1 Update is available via Windows Update and can be deployed on 32- and 64-bit computers, but also on ARM devices, such as Microsoft’s very own Surface tablets. It’s obviously free of charge and takes only a few minutes to install if nothing bad happens during the process.
