New Exciting Features

► Increased speed.
Windows 8.1 starts up faster, switches between apps faster, and uses power more efficiently than previous versions of Windows, including Windows 7.

► Enhanced user interface.
The most remarkable change in Windows 8 in comparison to the earlier versions is the user interface, the new start screen consists out of tiles that represent applications. The start screen appears upon booting up Windows 8, allowing you to quickly get to what you want to do. The start screen now includes new features:

‣ Start Screen;
‣ Live Tiles;
‣ Hot Corners.

► All App screen.  Another notable improvement is the All App screen, where all the apps are shown on the PC/laptop, and now can be sorted by name, category, most used and date installed. This allows you to get the best overview of your apps. Pinning an app to the start screen has also been made easier as you can just drag and drop, you can also rearrange the apps the same way. Windows 8.1 also allows you to categorise your apps easier by using the drag and drop system.

► Improved search & multitask option.
One of the most requested improvements is the new search option, locating any app, document, or media file is easier than ever as suggested results start showing up by the time you start typing. Windows 8.1 also allows you to multitask with your computer as you can view up to four things at once.

► Backup and access your files everywhere.
Now you can also back up and stay connected to your documents and photos via SkyDrive – a personal cloud based storage location. Access them at any time on your phone, tablet or PC. By signing in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows 8.1 you can immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.

► Windows Defender & Windows Store.  Windows 8 Also comes with a built-in antivirus program called Windows Defender, protecting you from various types of malicious software. The new built in Windows Store is also designed to keep you safe by informing you what information each app/program you install will have access to, protecting both your documents and your privacy.

► More personalized. 
Windows 8.1 is also more personalized, as you can choose between background pictures, or just change the colour of the background.
