Check The Features Updated in Windows 8.1 over Windows 8
Start button
In Windows 8, the icon in the lower left of the screen that
takes you to the Start Screen only appears when you mouse or gesture to summon
it-even in desktop mode. That's changed. First, it looks more like the
traditional Start button. The mini-Start screen icon has been replaced by an
icon of the Windows logo. It's more easily knowable if you are new to Windows
8, or firmly entrenched in your Windows usage patterns. And when in the desktop
mode, it's always visible in the task bar, right where it's always been.
There's no need to summon it. You can also adjust the settings so that instead
of launching the Start screen, you can launch an all-apps view that's sortable
by groups, or most frequently used. And because you can set the background
picture on both the desktop and Start screen to be the same now.
New apps
The collection of new apps are mostly utilities:
- Calculator is an obvious addition. It includes the standard and scientific views.
- Alarms is another checklist item, with timer, stopwatch, and countdown functions.
- Reading List is a fascinating addition and one I expect to use a lot. If you’ve ever used Instapaper or Pocket or another “read it later” app, you have a rough idea of this app’s basic purpose. Unlike Instapaper, however, you aren’t restricted to web pages. You can save a link to piece of content from any app on the device, using the Windows 8 Share charm. Your personal Reading List can consist of links to web pages, email messages, snippets from the Finance and Travel apps, tweets, and so on.
- Health and Fitness aggregates information about diet and exercise with tools to help you track calories and workout schedules.
- Food and Drink covers recipes and cooking. Its key feature is a hands-free mode that lets you use a tablet in the kitchen without getting your greasy hands on the touchscreen. In this app you “turn pages” by making a swiping gesture in front of the webcam.
File Explorer changes
In Windows 8, Microsoft gave its desktop file-management
utility a new name (it’s now File Explorer instead of Windows Explorer) and
added an Office-style ribbon. Windows 8.1 makes a couple of significant
additional changes.
Internet Explorer 11
We could have spent an entire session on Internet Explorer
11, which will be included with Windows 8.1. The most notable new
features are in the Metro version of IE and address some of the criticisms of
IE 10 in Windows 8.
Tabs have moved to the bottom of the screen, just above the
Internet Explorer address bar. And you’re no longer limited to 10 tabs. You can
have an infinite number of open tabs, with the row of tabs scrolling
horizontally. And your tabs roam across devices, so you can pick up on your
tablet where you left off on your desktop, or vice versa.
In addition, you now have full access to your collection of
Favorites, with the ability to add items to the Favorites list from the
Metro-style browser.
Sky Drive
Speaking of
SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service, it's far more integrated than it
was even in Windows 8, which already made great use of it. Every file has the
option to save to your device or SkyDrive, the latter syncs to the cloud so
they are available on every logged in device.
