For the first time ever, a Windows RT build has leaked online. This is the upcoming Windows 8.1 RTM build, 6.3.9600.16384.WINBLUE. Microsoft has already made an announcement that they are rolling out Windows 8.1 to both ARM and x86/x64 PCs in October. If you are so eager to try it out before that, you can download it from torrent sites. As expected, this build comes with Office 2013 pre-installed which will also include new Outlook 2013 RT.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 11 which came with Windows 8.1 RT. Recently it failed to run Windows Update and it shows 'Checking for updates.'
But as always, there is a risk associated with it. So, do at your own risk!
- Windows RT is a special version of Microsoft Windows designed for lightweight PCs and tablets that are based on the ARM architecture, including Microsoft's Surface tablet. Compared to Windows 8.
- If you have an ARM tablet running Windows RT, (like the Microsoft Surface tablet,) you already know that you're restricted to applications that Microsoft has approved and added to the Windows Store.
- Download Windows 8.1 Disc Image (ISO File) If you need to install or reinstall Windows 8.1, you can use the tools on this page to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.
- Note A spotlight advertisement for upgrading should be displayed on the home page of the Windows Store. Issue 2 After you click the Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 upgrade notification, the Windows Store is opened automatically. However, a few seconds later, the home page of the Windows Store is displayed without the update spotlight.
