| − | '''Windows 8.1''' (''codename “Blue”''<ref name="differencebetween.info">http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-windows-8-and-windows-8.1</ref>) is an updated [[Windows]] [[operating system]] intended to replace [[Windows 8]]. Although this update includes all the security patches and bug fixes up to the point of release, it also offers new features, so it is not officially a service pack. This update was released on October 17, 2013, just short of one year after the release of Windows 8.
