8.1 is free if you are updating from 8.0. Problem is that it was so full of problems, to the point that it was preventing some devices booting properly, that they had to pull it while they sorted things out. Now there is a surprise! It has reappeared again though - here is the link for 8.0 users;
Word has it that you are best avoiding it anyway, and if you need the start bar and desktop, there is a cheap app I use called stardock start8, which works like a dream, either that or downgrade back to Windows 7! -

I am going to load it on a spare HDD, it's just to check it out really.Sent using sorcery and the magic interwebs

I want win 8, because it utilizes directx 11.2 and reportedly gives 20-30 more FPS in battlefield 4.

Ah I get it, you are not even using Windows 8, and wondering if we know where you can get it?
Try looking on the Microsoft website, PC stores, online stores etc.
You are not going to get this for free through here if that is what you are looking for:taxman: -
I ended up with win 8 when I bought a new Laptop, Hated it at first, but it has now grown on me since updating to 8.1. Never had a crash or issues with get things to run ok, but maybe that's down to the Lappy being new.

Same with my new laptop but I still use stardock, a much friendlier I/F.

Just had a quick look at Stardock, looks very good.. i'll probably go for it, as this Laptops not a touch screen model.

Only my opinion but i rate win8 as the worst os i have ever used, this one is miles ahead......
Zorin OS...... well worth a look for any linux newbie -
Xp is miles ahead of windows 8 its a shame Linux is not compatible with silverlight etc if it was i would use it.

I find Chrome a much better option than what you mention & for any other software if you must use it you can run it via wine, play on linux or vmplayer, i dont miss using windows in the slightest nor does my mrs who just last week moved over to zorin os,
