Windows 8.1 Upgrade Mandatory

[tweakboy]

8.1 is definitely going to break those start bar replacements. I would uninstall them completely before doing the upgrade just to be sure, and then reinstall the inevitable 8.1 compatible versions afterwards.

I can guarantee there's going to be a domain deployable installation version for IT professionals available via TechNet, just like there is for every other service pack ever. Just deploy it like you would any other domain-wide update.

NO NO NO msuhkin There will be a button on the bottom left start button,, you click it it takes you to METRO ........that is the new start ,, u click on it goes to Metro once again...... gl

To be fair you could argue when Win95 was first released they wanted you to use Win95 and Start button menu their way.

You can use program manager instead of explorer in Win95.

Maybe, start8 should be okay though:

My point was when UI changes ie DOS to Win3.11,Win95 etc Microsoft expect you to use the OS in question their way,Win8 is no different and I expect Win9,10 etc to follow the same way.
