Hello Windows 8.1

[@IntellitechStudios]

8.1 was so nice. I used it for years until mainstream support ended in 2018. Shame that the app in the Windows 10 store didn't get compatability with the 8.1 store. If they had my Surface RT would be much more usable

By the time Windows 10 got released, Microsoft quickly pulled the plug on Windows 8.1 even though it was still supported such as the Windows Store and its built-in online metro app services.

Honestly, Windows 8.1 is not a bad operating system. If Microsoft allowed two options between the traditional start menu and the start screen (or a combination of both like Windows 8.1 Update 3 ARM32), people would probably prefer it. Personally, I have almost never used Windows 8.1 on a touch device, only with a mouse and keyboard, but for me the look and feel of Windows 8.1 are great. In addition, Windows 8.1 has many other great things. Windows 8.1 is essentially a Windows 7 with Metro UI and improved stability and speed. January 10, 2023 2:36PM

About the traditional start menu, it was going to be in Windows 8.1 Update 2 but Microsoft decided to retool that idea by putting it into their next Windows release called Windows 10. www.howtogeek.com/194942/windows-8.1-update-2-is-here-but-its-a-big-letdown/

i remember when 8.1 had just released and i was surprised ever since that day i vowed to keep up with news related to new versions of windows

I'm going to miss Windows 8.1, it brought so many new features and even I'd say brought mobile computing (for example Windows Phone or even normal laptops) much further because of its touch features I've been using it for the past three days and am going to use it for another 18 minutes, I am really enjoying it and I could even daily drive it if I wanted to

Me too and what a such a sad day

[@unchi1999]

Windows 8.1 for life everybody. Windows 10 sucks donkey ass, and can burn in hell for I can care about.

I’m using windows 8.1 in a VM and to be honest it’s a good 10 alternative for low end computers, I like the colored windows. I don’t really have a comment for the start menu though. My personal favorite color scheme is green ( Green start menu, green colored windows, green wallpaper )

[@ArsenTech]

I miss Windows 8.1

[@plashplash-fg6hd]

8.1 was the last good version. I’m going to miss it.

[@techactivate781]

I still use 8.1... RIP Windows 8.1

[@MarkyDav]

I loved Windows 8.1 on my Surface, I never updated it to 10.

[@BedroQuendoTV]

I wonder how these W8 UWP apps will be preserved to be able to reinstall at anytime later bc they all have a certain charm (and huge nostalgia) to it, even if most of them suck...Gee that dead MS Store catalog gives me huge Wii U eShop vibes

[@TransitOfVenus0]

RIP Windows 8.1

[@lodpai]

one year ago install win 8.1 to AMD Athlon Silver 3050u (wich officially DON"T support win 8.1) with 4 gb.. Machine start to fly, but did't find driver for monitor so it was everytime on max light + driver for tuchpad (mouse - ok), so i gave up and returne to win10....

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Woah 1234 was also my pin on my old Windows 8.1 machine which now replaced by a Windows 11 machine

[@isharadhanushan2002]

They completely discontinued microsoft store on windows 8, 8.1 . It's completely useless to use windows 8 beacuase metro apps doesn't work. It's like windows 7 now.

[@PCWindowstechguy]

I use 8.1 as my main os and I'm not planning to switch :)

[@JEKA_B112]

Do you need help for instal windows 7 on Steam Deck?

[@hjkjhlkkjhgkjhf]

its pretty bs that microsoft doesn't let me download the apps i own after the shutdown like nintendo might do with the 3ds/wii u eshop.
