    Stick with 8.1...........

    I have Windows 7 and I'm staying on that until Hell freezes not worried about them not issuing patches for it anymore I use a Linux Mint live CD to surf the Internet and do the basic things I need to do online every day.

    The entire OS runs off the CD only as soon as I turn it off everything is erased nothing to inject or infect me with.

    Of course it's your decision. But I upgraded here and as of right now I think windows 8.1 is the best and fastest version of windows that's ever been created.

    The biggest difference is the return of the start button like on Win 7 and the introduction of a new internet browser.

    The free offer is available for a full year so you don't have to make a decision just yet. But eventually Win 8 will be discontinued because Win 10 is the new OS

    Upgrade to Windows 10, it was good and easy to use than 8.1
