More customisable user interface, new wireless support, better mobility and BYOD features for business
Metro-style user interface still jars, little reason to upgrade for Windows 7 users
Windows 8.1 brings welcome user interface tweaks to Microsoft's touch-centric platform, plus a heap of innovative new features and capabilities. However, we fear that the Metro-style user interface will still be the stumbling block for many users, especia...

The PC Settings Structure in hierarchal form can be confusing and complex to navigate which leaves questions as to where you need to go, The Start Screen is the only way to open apps. Although the Start button has been restored, some of the functionality
If you already have Windows 8, the step up to Windows 8.1 is worth considering, especially if you have been frustrated by some of the past features in Windows 8 which have been fixed with Windows 8.1. For those who are resistant to change, Windows 8.1 can...
Start Button not fully functional; Still no unified inbox; Upgrading from Preview can be troublesome
If you're on Windows 8 we definitely recommend updating to Windows 8.1 as soon as possible. It rectifies a number of issues which plagued the original release and whilst it's not perfect, 8.1 is a step in the right direction....

A pain to install, Should have been like this from the start, Windows Store needs better apps
Microsoft has gone a long way in fixing all the problems we had with Windows 8, and in many ways it's the OS we deserved from day one. The ability to launch straight to the desktop and the pseudo-Start button will please desktop users, improved search wi...

The Modern UI will cause problems for some, many Windows 8 apps are still utterly hopeless
No doubt lots of people will say that 8.1 is what Windows 8 should have been from the start. To be fair to Microsoft though, it deserves some real credit for listening to the complaints people made about 8 and acting on them. While this sounds like...
Better melds desktop & touch UIs, Superb new search functionality, Lots of new functionality, Upgrades galore
Desktop & touch UIs still jar, Start button doesn't change anything, IE11 still playing catch up, Windows Store still sparse
Windows 8 is never going to be a perfect operating system. Its lofty ambitions introduced so many new elements that it was unlikely they would all be perfectly implemented and they weren't. Windows 8.1 can't fix this, but it does bring a wealth of obvious...
