A pop up Windows message just came up telling me to restart my computer to finally upgrade to 8.1. I already have Windows 8. I could only choose to postpone it up to 4 hours, so I have no choice but to bend over and take it in a few hours. I have a couple questions I cant find answers to so far.
I dont have any Microsoft Live accounts on this computer, just 4 local accounts and I want it to stay that way. Will I have to make a new account after I restart and when Windows 8.1 is being installed or can I just log in with one of my existing local accounts? Also, will any of my accounts be deleted under any circumstance?
Will it do something like a fresh install? Basically, will I lose my data and programs? Ive read that if going from W8 to W8.1, you keep all your data and stuff, but I want to make sure and ask here.
Is there anything else I should be concerned about? I really do not want to lose any of my local accounts, do not want to make a Microsoft account (one reason is so it wont sync with SkyDrive automatically), and I really cannot lose files, programs, data.
Please leave any help and feedback. Thank you!
