How to Upgrade to Windows 8.1
..
Installing Windows 8.1
Once you decide to make the switch to Windows 8.1, you have a few options for deploying it. If you are upgrading from Windows 7, you can do an in-place upgrade. Your system settings, as well as your installed applications and user settings, are preserved. This requires minimal reconfiguration, and you won’t need to re-install your programs after you’ve upgraded.
You can also opt to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 through a custom install, which is also known as a "clean" install. This means your programs, files, and settings are not preserved. You will need to back up your files and programs before upgrading and then re-install them afterwards.
