Windows 8.1 was designed to run on an exciting generation of affordable new PCs . You’ll be amazed at what a PC can do.
It offers certain concessions to users, such as booting directly to the Desktop, or the return of the Start Button. It also presents many more customization options for controlling tools, or organizing apps. Poor or unnecessary system features , such as the search engine, the Windows Store, or the Mail and Contacts apps, have been tweaked.
The most relevant implication may be that Windows 8.1 is compatible across all devices that support it : PCs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, Xbox One… This means that an app created for PC, for example, will automatically work on the mobile or console, and will even share data and games.
