Know About The Windows 8.1 Upgrade Bundle

Microsoft released Windows 8.1 to fix the issues the users were experiencing with its earlier version, i.e. Windows 8. When Microsoft released Windows 8, the OS was said as the next big thing to watch out for. Some of the advanced features such as Charms Bar and Metro UI interface were introduced to give a whole new look for the Windows OS. However, in the process of making the operating system the most sophisticated one, Microsoft made a blunder by excluding some of the basic features such as Start menu.

The omission of such user-friendly features backfired for the success of Windows 8. Many Windows 8 users started contacting the Microsoft tech support to uninstall the OS from their systems. These were the same users who had earlier contacted the technicians to know how to upgrade to Windows 8. Thus, Microsoft was forced to launch an extended update of Windows 8 and named it as Windows 8.1. The latest Windows 8.1 app comprises of innumerable user-friendly apps and most importantly, the Start button. In the earlier case of Windows 8, if users were finding it confusing to even boot their systems, Microsoft has ensured that no such issues would occur in 8.1. If you know how to upgrade to Windows 8, upgrading to Windows 8.1 would be a simpler task. But if you are looking for a PC that comes pre-installed with Windows 8.1, purchasing the computer with Dell E2014T monitor would be the best bet.

According to sources, this 20-inch E2014T balances its specs with the multi-touch capability and ensures that it is available at a lower price. If you plan to purchase this PC, you would get HD+ 1600×900 resolution with 5-point touch support that also includes triple video inputs and USB hub. Other specifications of this modern device include an MHL port for direct input from many smartphones and tablets, making it easy to connect with your other devices. By purchasing the product, you would be eligible for a 3 year advance exchange warranty, wherein Dell would ship a replacement to you and also cover all shipping costs. These features and specifications ensure that the Pro version of Windows 8.1 would be useful for the new PC build. This also comprises of extra networking and security features that can be purchased in addition.

So, if you are opting for a PC pre-installed with the Windows 8.1 upgrade, buying the one with Dell E2014T monitor would be the best choice. For more information on the Windows 8.1 features, please contact our Windows technical support team.
