If I upgrade from Win8 to Win8.1, will I have to reinstall all my software after deleting the Windows.old?

What did you upgrade it with? Just the windows store?
And I believe so, it all depends on where you install the software.
It doesn't take much time anyway.


Best of luck,

If you already had Windows 8 installed on your PC then you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade for free from the Windows Store. If you went to the store and bought a Windows 8.1 upgrade then when you put the disc in to install Windows just choose upgrade. It will upgrade and you will still have all your stuff.

No, you will keep all your stuff.

You are only upgrading, not performing a clean install.

If you are downloading it from the internet (torrent ect) then you will lose your data.

If you are currently running Windows 8, and are getting the upgrade from the Windows Store, then you will keep your data.
