Free upgrade download from Microsoft of 8.1 of the window.

I am running Windows 8.0 on my laptop Toshoba. I've been advised by Microsoft that I can download a free update for Windows 8.1. Is this free download, limited to a period of time that if I download this freebee, microsoft will do so any payment of any kind in the future. In other words... This freebee is really a freebee? I checked the FAQ and read the terms & conditions and can find no reference to a period of time.

No, it's free forever, no payment no waiting, it's a free update for all current users of Windows 8.

Yes, this is a freebee.

  • Is there a download from Microsoft which will create a bootable usb media that does not have the drivers?

    Original title: A bootable Windows 7 media

    I work on a Lenovo 2-in-1 with Windows 7 (for games) and 10 (for a normal use) Windows to dual-boot. I created a USB stick with Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) of a legitimate Windows 7 Pro disc. The computer starts on the usb device and plays normally, however, one of the steps asks a driver for cd/dvd and this 2-in-1 (Lenovo Flex 3) doesn't have a built-in CD/DVD. All other drivers are located in a folder system. My question is, given my key Windows 7 can I create a new bootable media that does not demand drivers? Is there a download from Microsoft which will create a bootable usb media that does not have the drivers? I know that I can reinstall the drivers manually after the installation.

    Thank you

    I do not understand your question. Download IE8? Do you mean the installer for IE8? It's here.

    You try to install KB2618444? They make 3. For IE6, IE7, and IE8. You probably download one from a different version of Internet Explorer you have...
    I'm going to guess you really want that for IE8.

  • Why money 2007 crash after the .qif downloads from Microsoft's latest security downloads?

    Given that the latest Microsoft security patches have been downloaded in mid-December, Money 2007 crashed everytime I tried to download from my bank accounts .qif files.  I know that Microsoft can't stand money 2007, but this is absurd.  Is it possible to work around this problem, other than to return to a prior restore point the last group of security patches?  I did it twice now and download correctly, bank files so I am convinced that security patches are the problem.  Thank you for all that you can recommend is lighter, or an update of your security download that resolves this problem.

  • Dam of recent downloads from Microsoft

    In recent weeks, I got several downloads of Microsoft.  I never recall receiving as much in the past.  When I connect to IE8 with my Sony laptop using Windows XP, there a few minutes late before I can access the web sites.  Background IE8 is install Microsoft Download or launch additional downloads.  What is going on?

    Except for the questions it deems too critical to wait for fix, Microsoft publishes updates on the second Tuesday of each month, the so-called "Patch Tuesday".  You are right that last week there was a bumper crop (for example,only record Patch Tuesday gives critical, fixes IE Windows ).  If I remember correctly, I had time to 17 or 18 'important' updated depending on whether I was updating to XP, Vista or Windows 7.

    If you leave all download and install informed first, you should always get updates/install "in the background".  This happens on particular Web sites?  If so, I would not visit these Web sites and make sure your antivirus AND anti-malware protection is up-to-date.

    Two things:

    Have you, after you restore the system to the factory settings, install all the latest drivers from device hardware and software for all your components (internal and external)?  Drivers and software for the devices.  In particular, any software for the Canon.
