Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m just not tech savvy enough to upgrade machines from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 After all, I’ve only written 4 books about Microsoft Windows and am pretty new to the operating system, considering that I’ve only been using Windows since the day they launched Windows 1.0 in 1985.
