Search has been changed to bring together results from Bing and results from your PC. There are no major changes to the user interface, to the ‘charms’ system or desktop and in some respects it’s a little disappointing given the launch and media coverage over the last week. On the Acer W510 it took about 2 hours to download, check, install, reboot and setup the system with Windows 8.1 Major Changes If not, just open the Windows Store and you should see the upgrade application immediately. The process starts here if you’re upgrading a Windows 8 PC where you need to download and install the bootstrap program.įollowing the install and reboot you’ll get a banner on-screen telling you to go to the Windows Store. Windows 8.1 Upgrade on the Acer Iconia W3 If you’re on a non-touch laptop and spend most of your time in Windows 8 desktop, don’t bother with the upgrade yet as there are bugs but if you’ve got an Acer Iconia W5 or one of the other supported Windows 8 tablets or hybrids and you’re not using it for production purposes I would definitely recommend upgrading. Keyboard changes, windowing changes, 3G connected standby support, new Windows 8 applications and a range of application upgrades.
I’ve also upgraded an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook and an AMD Temash subnotebook, all with touch but it’s the tablets that get the most out of the changes in the upgrade. Windows 8.1 Preview was announced and released at Microsoft’s BUILD event this week and I’ve been testing it on an Acer Iconia W5 Clovertrail based tablet similar to the W3, 8-inch devices that were given out to around 3000 people at the event.
