Today's the day: October 17th, the day Microsoft starts rolling out
Windows 8.1. And right now, the minute this post first went live, is
7AM ET, the exact minute the OS update will start appearing in the
Windows Store as a free download. Don't have a Windows 8 device? You can
still install
8.1 on a Win 7 machine; you just won't get the update for free. For
folks using Windows 7, you'll pay the same price Microsoft was already
charging for Windows 8: $120 for the standard version, and $200 for
Windows 8.1 Pro. Additionally, Microsoft will also be selling so-called
full-version software, allowing you to install the OS on a machine that
isn't already running Windows. At any rate, if you've already got a
Windows 8 device in hand, we suggest you hit up the source link below to
take advantage of the free download. Or, if you're a weirdo, you can
also buy a boxed copy in a retail store. We won't judge.
