    help 8.1
    « on: November 04, 2014, 10:34:10 AM »
    Heres my dilemma. I got Windows 8 a window keeps popping up to free upgrade to Windows 8.1, before it give the option to be reminded later, and I allways clicked remind me later.
     Now the option is, install 1,2,3,4 hours.
     I researched it on Google, with little luck. My first option, go to.
     (1) group policy editor ( gpedit.msc ) when I hit enter, a box appears, says windows cant find.
     (2) regedit says go to HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE
     click Windows Store, theres no Windows Store option at this location.
     I don't like to mess in regedit at all, my computer skills are average.
     My goal is to stick with Windows 8 and never go to 8.1, is there away to disable 8.1 offer free and easy ?
     Thanks, Chuck
     Like I say my computer skills are average at best.

    Upgrade to 8.1. There's a reason the OS has been patched - always install the latest version.

    Sure thing...
    Ignore the update and muck around with gpedit and regedit and wonk your Win 8 installl...
    Or let it update...your choice.
