And here is the easiest of all migration: Update Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1. There is nothing really complicated, but two cases are possible: either operate the DVD supplied by Microsoft, or to apply to Windows Update. This option is not yet activated, see as runs the update using the Windows installation DVD 8.1.
Q: Do I necessarily create a disc or an installation key?
A: This is not mandatory. It is quite possible to unpack the ISO of Windows 8.1 on a system partition or an external drive without using a key to boot. Then just double-click the Setup icon to execute the update. However, a key or a DVD installation can be useful in case of system crash, because they are so hard to restore. Better to create one using the tool USB / DVD Download Windows 7 (do not be intimidated by the "Windows 7" label, this program works with all editions of the OS). A small point to remember: for the 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1, you will have a key of at least 8 GB. Once created, insert the disc or USB key in the computer, and double-click its icon via Explorer.
Q: So it is not necessary to restart the computer?
A: No, you do not need to restart the computer and ensure that it starts well on the key or the installation DVD. Anything can happen directly from Windows. Installation module offers three choices: keep the Windows settings, personal files and applications / keep only personal files / not keep anything. Go to the first, of course. It saves you from having to reinstall all the software you use every day. After a few minutes of installation and after a reboot, you are in possession of a brand new Windows 8.1.
