It's like, bye-bye old friend.... I could safely do whatever without being forced to install something unexpected. Very stable and sound experience with Windows 8.1 for the last eight years!

I got this last night while installing the final security roll-up.

Install Linux on the older box /laptop.

@WWeiss53 Yes will start dabbling with Linux again on one of my VMs.

The last time I tried was back in 2002 with Red Hat 7.2 on a mint Compaq Presario laptop...did not go well.

W8.1 was excellent for development.
