Some Win8 users can upgrade Win8.1

  
through automatic update

Microsoft recently indicated that it will open an experimental project to some markets, providing a more direct Win8.1 upgrade to users who are still in the Win8 system.

In the original Win8, users need to enter the Windows App Store to upgrade to Win8.1, but now Microsoft will provide a regular upgrade, that is, through Windows Update to upgrade. In fact, Microsoft provided Windows Update upgrade when Win8.1 Update 1.

The main reason for providing users with Windows Update upgrades is that some users have failed in upgrading through the Windows Store, so that they have not been successfully upgraded.

However, it should be noted that users must install the KB281389 patch to upgrade Win8.1 via Windows Update, and this feature is currently only piloted in some regions.
