Win8.1 Update Takes Ages

I have been getting frequent annoying reminders to upgrade to Win8.1.

Win8.1 Update Reminder

As I thought about this, then I tend to ignore these reminders.. because I think win8.1 might be just one of the ‘updates’.

Different Reactions to OS Updates

I had to restart my laptop earlier because it became very slow. And the options provided are sleep, shutdown, switch user, and [update and restart]. Yes, there is no such thing as pure restart, then I think it might be OK to install [updates], but I realized it was going to Win8.1 and it was too late.

30 minutes before finally reaching [Applying PC settings], i think this is the last few minutes..

But, I was wrong, …. a few more thing…

When it gets restart, you think yes, finally, but it continues to updates…

Just this screen stays frozen (only screen colour changing) for quite a few minutes.

Finally… and the free space of C drive increases roughly 4GB, which is a bit surprising… Did they optimise the code or remove thousands of useless code? The caption of “My Computer” has been changed to “This PC”.

Upgraded to Win8.1 Finally

I would be just a Linux user if I had not used windows for work.
