Public țintă

Microsoft Windows remains the dominant operating system on PCs and other connected devices worldwide, yet consumers have been slow to warm to Windows 8. The dual interface offering a touch–optimized app screen and the traditional Windows work surface was widely panned in the media and drove some users away from buying new machines or upgrading old ones. Windows 8.1 addresses many of the problems, introducing changes that have been praised in the media. The final version of 8.1 is due in August as a free upgrade to existing Windows 8 users. Microsoft hopes it enhances the 5% share Windows 8 currently holds in the market.

Our target audience: Windows users who have recently upgraded or are looking to upgrade, as well as new users to Windows, who are looking for a comprehensive guide to installing this new OS, setting it up, and taking advantage of all of its new features.
