Windows 8.1 update is due for release at the end of the month. This update to Windows 8 will offer new features for better mobile computing and the overall touch screen experience. The public will witness a preview of the Windows 8.1 update on June 26, 2013 at the Microsoft Build Conference. Until then, check out these improvements that trueITpros finds interesting about Windows 8.1 or Windows Blue.
Windows 8.1 will allow you to personalize your lockscreen. For the photography enthusiasts, you can make your lockscreen into a slide show of your best photos. Fun thing is that you don’t have to log in to do so. You can take pictures from the built-in camera or from your SkyDrive. As you know, there is no start button with Windows 8. However, the start button returns with the Windows 8.1 update. The biggest plus is the new search capabilities of Windows 8.1. Microsoft has integrated Bing results directly with search for a more powerful, faster user experience. Users can search computer files, SkyDrive, the Internet and other web applications directly from the search box. We mustn’t fail to mention the new Internet Explorer 11 that comes with the update. This is where the touch experience gets better through faster upload times. Information is at your fingertips; just slide into your browser and watch it all unfold in seconds.
Easy access sounds good no matter how you slice it. Windows 8.1 gives users easier access to their beloved files through the new and improved SkyDrive. The Windows 8.1 update allows access to all files from any device or in the cloud even when you are offline. Now settings and apps are automatically stored in SkyDrive. If you purchase a new tablet or laptop today, your previous settings are accessible through the new device. Essentially you will always have a way to get your hands on the files you need. No more missing data for the monthly board meeting and last minute emails can get a confident send off with the right attachment.
