    Windows 8.1 Update 1

    I keep reading that we need to do this Update 1 to 8.1 or that security patches will no longer be updated in the future for this particular computer. The date is May 13th for the deadline. Is this true, anyone know. Here is what I have read from Toms Hardware:

    Sorry, that second link above should have been: http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/...atch-baseline/
    Effective this coming May 13, there will be no more security patches for Win8.1. If you want patches after May 13, you must install Windows 8.1 Update.
