Download Windows 8.1 Update

To upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update for free, visit Windows Update and apply the update named Windows 8.1 Update (KB2919355) or Windows 8.1 Update for x64-based Systems (KB2919355).

If you don't see any Windows 8 Update related updates in Windows Update, check to make sure that KB2919442, first available in March 2014, is installed first. If it wasn't, you should see it there in the list of available updates in Windows Update.

While more complicated, you also have the option of upgrading manually from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update via the downloads linked here:

The Windows 8.1 Update actually consists of six individual updates. Select them all after clicking the Download button. First install KB2919442 if you haven't already, followed by the ones you just downloaded, in this order exactly: KB2919355, KB2932046, KB2959977, KB2937592, KB2938439, and then KB2934018.

Not sure which download to pick? See our article on how to tell if you have Windows 8.1 64-bit or 32-bit for help. You must choose the download that corresponds to your type of Windows 8.1 installation.

If you haven't yet updated to Windows 8.1, you'll need to do that first via the Windows Store. See our How to Update to Windows 8.1 tutorial for more help. Once that's complete, update to Windows 8.1 Update via Windows Update.

Windows 8.1 Update is not the entire operating system, only a collection of updates to the operating system. If you don't currently have Windows 8 or 8.1, you can purchase a new copy of Windows (the entire operating system, not just the update). However, it's no longer available for purchase directly from Microsoft, so if you need to buy Windows 8.1, you can try other places like Amazon.com or eBay.

See Where Can I Download Windows 8.1? for some discussion on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 download.
