Is not Windows 8.1 just a fancy way to say Win8 SP1? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 7:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] General Windows 8 question
Yes, Windows 8.1 is a free upgrade and will be available around October. For those already running Windows 8 when it releases, it will be available from the Windows app store. Sent from Microsoft Surface Pro From: Jon Harris Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 9:50 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> I have a client that is upgrading (replacing the drive so it will not be a real upgrade) his machine from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro. I got a great deal on a full copy of Windows 8 Pro for him. The drive is about to be ordered. The question is from what I have been told at the Orlando Microsoft Store front those people running Windows 8 (RT, Pro, Phone) will be getting the new Windows 8.1 when it is released. I would like to confirm this and find out if this will come by way of a download using Windows Update or what? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot!
