Deadline, your Win8.1 upgrade Win8.1 Update is not

Computer store news: This year you upgrade to Win8.1 Update? If you haven't already, you can hurry up the last week of the deadline, otherwise you won't be able to get the May security patch push, which means that Windows 8.1 mainstream support has ended prematurely in May 2014.

In the Microsoft Windows Lifecycle Table, Microsoft will support the Win8.1 extension support service until January 10, 2023, but only if you need to upgrade to Win8.1 Update in advance to continue to enjoy the later Extended service.

According to the latest Microsoft official blog, if users open the Windows automatic update service, Win8.1 will automatically download and install the Win8.1 Update patch in the background. If you turn off automatic update or manual mode, Microsoft reminds that these Win8.1 users need to install Win8.1 Update before this month's patch day (May 13th), otherwise they will not be able to obtain the May security update patch.

Even if these users manually check Windows Update, they still can't check the security update for May. By default, an update of KB2919355 is displayed.

Therefore, for Win8.1 users, upgrading Win8.1 Update is the only way to extend the service later.
