From what I've heard, DON'T update to 8.1. It's fraught with problems. Last weekend I tried Internet Explorer 11 which I believe comes with 8.1 ignoring all the advice online not to go there. This was on my W7 laptop of course. IE 11 is terrible. Nothing works properly.
And then there's my brother's experience. He bought a W8 laptop 2 weeks ago. Within 24 hours the hard drive was dead due to a forced BIOS update. He took it back for a refund. 4 days later he bought another W8 laptop. Catastrophic failure on the second day requiring a factory reset. Catastrophic failure on the 4th day requiring a factory reset. W8 seems really fragile.
Run you clever boy. And remember...
