Last week at Build, we announced Windows 8.1 Update. This update is a collection of refinements that makes Windows 8.1 feel more familiar and convenient with a mouse and keyboard as well as touch. Yesterday, we began rolling out the update to people via Windows Update. If you haven’t seen the update yet, don’t worry. As you can imagine, we’ve got a lot of Windows Update servers all over the world - so it takes some time for updates to roll out to everyone. Those who wish to install the update ahead of getting it automatically may do so by manually checking for new updates via the Windows Update Control Panel. You can also obtain the standalone update package through the Microsoft Download Center here. Be sure to check this KB article for details including necessary prerequisites needed prior to installing the update. For everything you need to know about getting the update, click here. [UPDATE 4/11 – See below for more information about getting the update from Windows Update.]
