Yup bro u will face it. Even i have faced it too, that caused me to reformat my entire pc so switched back to 8. But if u buy Win retail DVD of 8.1 u wont get this problem. Its far worth buying a PC that has inbuilt 8.1.

When i tried to update it restarted my pc and my entired screen was messed up so... ehh
Win8/8.1 = faster, safer , apps that give me infos needed without having to open my browser,
Win7 = slower, ugly and not "interactive-at-all" Start Menu, better for tweakers/geeks,

I had a lot of issues with my drivers in 8.1, CPU fan issue, although I used to manage it, but within one month I could not expect what had happened , my pc was booting very delayed and finally it was not booting. at this case I must boot to safe mode and copy all my data to ext USB,HDD to save myself. Win 8.1 is really a stupid update
. When I aske the Microsoft community they informed that we must first check whether all drivers are up to date and check its compatibility with other softwares and then update. Uff such a long tragedy, I will never update again to 8.1, If I want though I will purchase one new pc , will never think of updating it again. when you plan to update an OS your first mandatory move is to check your hardware to see if they are compatible; this should be a reflex, don't expect Microsoft to create drivers for your hardwares...this is the job of your hardware's manufacturer.
Don't blame the wrong one.

Secure Boot is optional, it's also hardware based so mostly found on new hardware, and can be toggled from the BIOS settings.

pro
- Windows Store and Modern UI
- Synchronisation of you configuration (themes, apps, ..)
- boot faster
- use less memory
- you can natively mount iso
- support of multiple monitors enhanced
- Include Windows defender, built-in skydrive and optimized task manager
cons
- Windows Store and Modern UI -> not enough apps , no built-in classic start menu
- nobody like it , so its not very popular
I'm on windows since 3.11, used them all and I can say that windows 8.1 is a very good OS, far better than seven
I recently bought an Asus Transformer book T100 with windows 8.1 , its amazing I 'm going to sell my galaxy tab

I Hate Windows 8 and 8.1
You should use Windows 7 Ultimate.
You can also use Windows 7 Professional, but Ultimate has some extra features, Little Difference.
You should not use Windows 8 and 8.1 because i donot like it and no one like it.
Its your choice you install 7 , 8 or 8.1
From my point of view XP is better than 8 and 8.1
I know Microsoft will stop update in xp.
>>>>>>> You should try 8.1 but not 8 because 8.1 is latest, then you decide 7 or 8.1? >>>>>>

Trololololol
no explanations , no arguments , this kind of useless and uninformative post.
I Love Win8/8.1; it does what i needed since ages when Win7 and below can't.
better built-in security (beginners and corporations don't even need 3rd party AVs)
better performances and boot.
better built-in tools.
better system recovery/restoration.
more multi-task oriented (apps doesn't interfere with the desktop).
sync for multi-computer/tablet users (like me).
your softs/drivers are not compatible , blame the manufacturers for their lack of skills , not Windows8
those that bash Win8 never used it long enough or deep enough to see the real potential it has.
Thanks
