Still Running Windows 8.1 Preview? It's Time to Make a Decision

This is a just a quick and friendly reminder that the free preview of Windows 8.1 is about to expire.

If you are one of those who are still running the Preview version of Windows 8.1 on a computer, you should remember that the license is set to end in January 2014. Released in June 2013, I know it's easy to forget and just become comfortable and settled, while using the free version day-to-day. For some, I guess, they are still sitting on the fence about whether or not to stick with the modern OS, or to revert back to a previous version.

Microsoft is also attempting to warn customers through one of their many, gazillion Partner blogs and they give some web resources to help us remember how to update from Windows 8.1 Preview to Windows 8.1 or how to revert back to a previous OS version.

Here's the resources to help refresh your memory:
