Q. Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 


Guess what!!  The last time I checked my computer—several days ago, “SkyDrive” still showed up in File Explorer.  When I checked it this morning, I found that “OneDrive” appears there now.  Also, Joe, the power options and search icons now appear on my Start screen/tiles.  So doesn’t that mean that the 8.1 update HAS installed on my computer? 
 

A. Yes, but to double check, go to Control Panel, Windows update and check for updates. The Windows 8.1 update was over 800 MB by itself.

 
Thank you for last night’s presentations.  I always learn something, but last night I learned a lot.  Thanks for the comment, it makes my day. I really try hard.

 
Response;  

Once again, you have saved me!!  As you suggested, I went to Control Panel, Windows Update, and checked for updates.  It said that my system was set up to install updates automatically and that I had four optional updates available to download and install, one of which was the 8.1 update.  I installed all four.  Now I have only one optional update listed as available—Silverlight, which I do not plan to install. 

Thanks!!
