See what works with Windows 8.1 with the updated Compatibility Center

You should be able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 without any problems with software compatibilities.

You mean to say that all software's which support Windows 8 will support Windows 8.1.
 
Not all, but most. Except, older security software isn't recommended to use on non-supported platforms.
 
Versions of Symantec Endpoint Security 12 and below won't work on 8.1. The only upgrade path will be for 12.1; the RU4 revision is still in Beta.

If memory serves all of the Norton 2013 family need to be upped to the 2014 products.

Windows 8.1 not listed, however, ESS7 will likely to support Windows 8.1 up on release.

This list added solutions, developers have confirmed officially support Windows 8.1 (in the changes in a press release, etc.).
 
Does CCleaner, Virtual Box, VLC Media Player, 7Zip, Internet Download Manager, & Google Chrome also support Windows 8.1 or Not.
 
Now Kaspersky AV & IS also Supports Windows 8.1 - http://goo.gl/Asf1EH (MalwareTips Another Thread)
 
I'm not sure if this is important to you, but make sure you have "Valve Steam" and/or DVD's ready! Some of your games( New releases/Old releases) won't survive an upgrade.

"Does CCleaner, Virtual Box, VLC Media Player, 7Zip, Internet Download Manager, & Google Chrome also support Windows 8.1 or Not?"
Yes, they do. No compatibility issues so far. ^ ^ It's not a big deal. The system structure hasn't changed. ^ ^

Using the new official Microsoft Windows 8.1 PRO.
