RECENTLY I’VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF MESSAGES ABOUT UPDATING MY WINDOWS 8 TO 8.1 SHOULD I DO IT? WILL IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?
Yes! If your PC is running Windows 8 or is capable of doing so, there are quite a lot of reasons to update it. Updating always introduces many useful tools and simultaneously fixes several bugs and security issues.
Hallelujah! The Start button is back! It was sorely missed in Windows 8, but is now reintroduced in its usual bottom left corner.
Just start typing what you’re looking for in the Start screen and Windows will search all your folders, including the internet owing to its integration with Bing. Web integration is absent in Windows 8.
BETTER MANAGEMENT
With its many new features, 8.1 is expected to occupy more disk space, but it is actually less of a storage hog than Windows 8. One of its spiffy new features is the ability to view all the apps installed in your system and sort them according to your preference.
BETTER MULTITASKING
In Windows 8, SNAP allows you to have multiple apps open simultaneously. In 8.1 it allows you to resize the app windows to virtually any size. Also, if you have multiple monitors, you can have more than two apps open at the same time.
BETTER START SCREEN
You can now resize the tiles in your Start screen as per your preference. You can also customise your start screen background to have the same wallpaper as your desktop which isn’t possible in Windows 8.
