Microsoft released Windows 8.1 as an official and free Windows 8 update, which means that if you are currently using Windows 8, you can anytime head towards Windows Store from where to download and install Windows 8.1 on your own tablet, laptop or desktop.Even though Windows 8.1 represents a free update made available for the Windows 8 users, downloading the firmware might raise some issues in term of availability. Why? Well basically because for updating to Windows 8.1 on several devices it is implied a separate download procedure for each computer in part. Thus, you cannot install Windows 8.1 on multiple devices at the same time. This is not good especially if you don’t have a free internet connection or if you are located in a place where you cannot go online at all.
