It's finally here! Windows 8.1 is now available as a free update for those who already have Windows 8 (like me!) installed. I hear the Start button is back and a bunch of other improvements are available. I have no experience with the update yet, but have read the good review here. I think I'll install it on my kids' computer first and see how it goes….

To download the update, visit www.windows.com and click on the Get the Free Update button.

Yes, but does Legacy still work with Win 8.1?
I am waiting till I know that before I download to my tablet.

Update requires about one to one and a half hours. I updated both my desktop and laptop computers. Once updated, check the Windows Update as I found half a dozen additional changes available.
