If you really want to relive the old days of Windows, though, you'll need to make a few additional settings tweaks yet. If you ask us, then, it's a little hyperbolic to call this a step backward, though it sure does make the OS feel a little more familiar. (You can't disable it.) Click on it, though, and you'll still get the modern Start Screen, not the old-school fly-out menus. Yes, as you may have heard, the Start button is back in Windows 8.1, insofar as there's now a Start icon fixed to the lower-left corner of the screen.
Ultimately, company reps say, the goal is for every app to run properly on 8.1, no exceptions. Microsoft says that's simply a function of the operating system still being in its preview phase. Oh, and this might be a good time to give you a heads-up about apps: not all of them will run properly on Windows 8.1, at least not in the beginning. So even if it's the Vevo app you're after, you might still see a prompt to update the OS. As it happens, we expect it will be very hard to miss the download prompt in the store: Microsoft intends to add a "Windows 8.1 Preview is here" note even on individual app download pages.
By the time you're reading this, though, the preview will be live in the Windows Store all you'll have to do is hit download and let your system take care of the rest. Because we started testing Windows 8.1 before it was actually available in the Windows Store, we had to borrow a Surface Pro from Microsoft with the software installed, similar to the way we routinely call in loans on review units. Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it.įirst things first: a disclosure. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences.
