Windows 8 was introduced last year and we saw the emergence of a new user interface in it. It is a modern touch screen interface and it would work well with gestures and swipes. You would have been impressed when you saw the touch sensitive interface of Windows 8, which made it different from the other Windows OS. The major feature of Windows 8 is the use of tiles on its screen. The new UI has been considered as one of the highlights of Windows 8. But, will you miss the Start button on your Windows 8 desktop. If you wish to enjoy the same, upgrading to Windows 8.1 can be considered. You find out about the upgrade by visiting the Windows 8 help web page.
