Update the impact of Windows 8.1 Preview

Scope:

Win 8.1

Steps:

Windows 8/RT users receive Windows Update update reminders when Windows 8.1 Preview is available . Once you've determined the update, it will trigger a new update in the Windows Store, and you can check out the 8.1 update or choose whether to install it. Once the official version of Windows 8.1 is released /RTM, users who have already installed the preview version will also receive an official version of the upgrade reminder through the Windows Store. Although all data and accounts will be retained, the application will be reinstalled.

Upgrading from the Windows 8.1 Preview to the official version

will retain the data and account, but the app will be reinstalled. Which applications need to be reinstalled depends on the Windows 8 (x86) or Windows RT (ARM) system:

Windows 8 system, the tester will need to reinstall the Windows Store/Metro style application and desktop application; Br>

For Windows RT systems, testers only need to reinstall Windows Store/Metro style apps.

Skip the preview and update Windows 8.1 officially.

Those who choose not to install the Windows 8.1 preview directly and wait for the RTM version will not reinstall the application. All settings, data, and applications are seamlessly migrated, and users can always choose when or whether to upgrade to Windows 8.1/RT 8.1.
