It took me a crazy amount of time for me to. It took hours for the one I had. Nothing but problem after problem when I got this computer.

Yes, the first 48 hours of having the computer were frustrating to get the updates done, but once I got through all of that, I have had no issues with the computer since

I did. You can refresh to speed up. Google or try this link:http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-8-tip-reset-or-refresh-your-pc

I haven't been able to even find a download for this update. Any suggestions where?

hello, yes, I had updated on line awhile back, it took all night, was slow only because of our connection here in the forest. The update was free. But, it was worth it, definitely had some improvements that helped me with using WINDOWS 8 system.

It comes with Windows 8, and it takes about 15 minutes to download and install the update.

Note: Ask N.Williams for support info. It's not a simple process right now. Hopefully it will be improved over the next few weeks. You will likely have some issues in trying to update, but Norman can walk you thru it.(Smile!)

Linda, I run Windows XP SP2 and have the updates installed as an automatic routine. It's not a political issue with me, it's just a matter of keeping the OS updates properly installed. They actually do improve the performance of a system. As far as browsers go, I'm currently running (in order of priority) Google Chrome, MSIE 8 (beta), and Firefox. These are all on a single computer as I write this to you, an aging HP with an Intel Celeron processor, as can be seen here in this review:

So far it handled everything quite well for me. It is recommended to search and update drivers from time to time even if windows update doesn't show the update.

I haven't done any upgrades other than the auto upgrades for windows so sorry can not help you there

I'm actually having issues... I'm not sure if its the MB for the hard drive. After installing the OS and updating Windows crashes and won't boot up. It gets stuck on the update screen and won't change.

My son loaded the windows 7 update and now has problems like Black screen and runs very slow. Any ideas?

First Question: There is a way to do a clean install with the upgrade version on an empty formatted hard drive. At windowssecret.com there are complete instructions. Second Question: You actually need to buy the 64 bit version

Gina: I got this for my wife. She loves it, B U T we were unable to upgrade to 8.1. We went through all the updates for Windows 8, then it asked and still asks to update to 8.1. Unfortunately when we updated to 8.1 it took over 4 hours to download the files, then after they were installed and the machine re-started the radio in the tablet for the Wi-Fi would not work (no Wi-Fi connection), soooo I backed it back to version 8 and the radio worked for Wi-Fi. I did get the extended warranty so I plan on filing a claim and send it back to asus. Are you having the same experience?

If you have Windows 7, it should automatically download it. If not, try running Windows Update in the Start Menu. You're still gonna need a cord to power the drive you're plugging this into.

I did it. It is free. If you don't get an upgrade offer came up when 1st initiating and Registering Windows after you start the machine the 1st time, you can Google "Windows 8.1 Upgrade" and select the download from the MS website. You can also check the list of updates in the Windows Update app in Control Panel. It takes a while to download and install.

Yes. During initial setup it goes out and downloads patches and upgrades. This can take a while with several reboots.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are asking whether the update comes with the laptop it does not. You will need to go online and download it. It's a trick to it because of how you setup the sign on and password when you first boot into windows 8. You may not have any trouble, but if so just contact customer service for assistance in upgrading to MS Windows 8.1.
