Microsoft has announced that Windows 8.1 will be arriving on 17th October (well, in the US, anyway), confirming an earlier rumor of a mid-month launch. For some reason, the company’s specified an exact time of 12am on October 18th in New Zealand, which is 4am PT or 7am ET on October 17th. The free update will begin hitting your local Windows Store from that time, as well as “at retail and on new devices” on the 18th, depending on the market. Check out our hands-on for an idea of what to expect from the update. Filed under: Desktops , Laptops , Tablets , Software , Microsoft Comments Source: Microsoft
