Windows 8.1 Will Start To Roll Out Tomorrow At 4 AM PDT

[Arch_Angel]

Tomorrow, at 4 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, Windows 8.1 will begin to roll out as an optional update to Windows 8 users. The new software represents a reset and rebirth of the bets that Microsoft made with its Windows 8 operating system.

Windows 8.1 contains a grip of new features, including new built-in applications, fresh user-interface changes, and a more powerful search technology that elevates Bing as a component of the Microsoft services suite. SkyDrive also has a prominent place in Windows 8.1, as Microsoft works to ensure that it continues to manage its users’ files wherever they are stored. (For a quick look at why that matters, head here.)

4am PDT is 6am EST (our time).
But this is a staged roll out so not everyone will see it to upgrade at the same time.

no issues... updated my laptop, work desktop and RT tablet at the same time with no issue. My personal desktop had 8.1 over a month now...

I was not so fortunate, first I had the windows 8.1 secure boot not configured watermark. Going into the bios, enabling secure boot and installing asrock's default keys sorted that out. Then XBMC and Geforce Experience refused to work, however, uninstalling Rivatuner fixed that issue. Now I am grappling with a most annoying sound card issue, on every reboot my titanium x-fi goes to headset/gaming mode and thus there is no sound through the speakers, when changed back to entertainment mode all setting are reset and have to be reconfigured each time.
