Windows 8.1 Available for Pre-order Now
Let the countdown begin!
Microsoft on Wednesday announced that is now accepting
pre-orders for Windows 8.1. The catch is that you'll have to be in the
United States to secure yourself a pre-order, because Redmond doesn't
seem to have opened pre-orders elsewhere just yet.
As discussed previously, Windows 8.1 will be officially released on
October 18, 2013 (that's actually 12:00am on October 18th in New
Zealand, so 4:00 a.m. PT 7:00 a.m. ET on October 17). Those who are
already running Windows 8 will receive the upgrade to 8.1 for free, but
those will on Windows 7 and below will need to pay for the pleasure to
use the new Start Screen.
Pricing for Windows 8.1 will be the exact same as for the version
before it: $119.99 and Windows 8.1 Pro will be available for $199.99.
What's different from Windows 8, however, is that upgrade versions will
be full version software. New PC owners with Windows 8.1 can upgrade to
the Pro version for $99.
