Windows 8.1

The new Windows

Discover new ways to work and play with Windows 8.1.

Mouse, keyboard, and familiar programs

Get a new touchscreen PC and you can still work with a mouse, keyboard, and the Windows desktop the way you always have. Use virtually any printer. Programs that work on Windows 7 work on Windows 8.1. All the basics, from startup times to security, are better than ever.

New tablets and PCs

Find your own size, color, price, and style. With this range of choices, you'll find a perfect match.

New tablets are versatile and stylish, blazing fast and ultra light. Laptops and 2‑in‑1 PCs with snap-in keyboards give you speed and power with complete portability. All-in-one desktops offer bigger displays for both serious productivity and serious play.

Getting started

Power up your new Windows tablet or PC and you can get into the flow right away. The key is to explore the corners and edges, where you'll find most of the things you do most often, like switching between apps, sharing things with friends, and adjusting your settings. You'll soon be zooming along from work to play and back again—or doing both at once.
