Windows 8.1 users need to install the latest update by June 10. After that, Microsoft plans no more security updates for the unpatched version. The free update, which became available in April, allows better control of the mouse and new taskbar functions.
Anyone who has their Windows set to automatic update is already likely to have the newest version.
You can tell by checking for the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner of the start-up screen.
Anyone who does not use automatic updates should do a manual update before the deadline. Do so by going to the system settings menu.
The necessary update is labelled KB2919355. If that update is not an option, it means you need to first install the previous upgrade: KB2919442.
