Upgrade Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 RTM has been released. After downloading it today, I upgraded my Windows 8 x64 Enterprise Edition to Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition. It took about one hour to complete the upgrade, after the upgrade, sogou has five retries and needs to be re-installed. In addition, you need to set Office 2013 and Visio 2013. Like Windows 8, the desktop is retained. Next, let's take a look at the upgrade.

1. Upgrade to Windows 8.1

1) The operating system before installation is Windows 8 Enterprise Edition, i7-2600 CPU, 16 GB memory, 64-bit operating system, 1 shown.
