There will be no breaks for the majority of Microsoft customers wishing to upgrade to Windows 8.1 when it goes live Oct. 18.
Anyone upgrading from Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 will have to shell out $119.99 for Windows 8.1 or $199.99 for Windows 8.1 Pro. The price is the same whether a customer downloads from Windows.com or buys a retail-packaged DVD at a store.
Windows 8 customers, however, can upgrade for free.
“One shift to note in Windows 8.1 is that we will be offering ‘full version software’ at retail and online for download that does not require a previous version of Windows in order to be installed,” reads a company blog post.
