Windows 8 -8.1?

[Rebirth]

Whoever said Win8 and 8.1 is entirely wrong... name me an aspect you think of is bad in Win8.1 and I'll prove you the opposite. I'm using Windows 8.1 since 6-8 months now on all my devices, I was used to Windows 7 and was hating vista, the usual boyo'. Ppl around me still say Windows 8.1 is bad... lmao... Imagine, they tell you that Windows8.1 is bad even though they only have apple products at home and not a single damn windows OS. I'm sure you guys do have Windows but still, did you ever tried out Windows 8.1 and gave it a 'real' chance to convince you?

Windows 8.1 is a progress, a step forward. Win8.1 is more efficient than Win7 and past versions, in a couple of aspects...

Alright, overall the design is based on each individual character - if you like the design or not, is up to you (the customer) luckily we all know, how highly customizable Windows is, you do right? You could just modify windows, you can change the Windows Icons, heck you can do a LOT of stuff aslong you have a restore point somewhere stored, just in case.

and a lot more links you can find via google..., I haven't implemented any of the above, imho Windows 8.1 looks damn sexy/modern.

About the OP's question ; Just upgrade it and let the procedure finish. It will not break anything, don't worry. Windows 8.1 is like, like upgrading Windows XP Service Pack 1 to Service Pack 2... They just renamed Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 (1 stands for Service Pack 1, lol surprise (: )(^_^)
