If you're upgrading to Windows 8.1 today, make SURE you uninstall ALL graphics and video card drivers before the upgrade: for me that was a minimum of Intel's onboard video, ATI Radeon drivers and MVP Virtu software for letting you do fast video conversion using the video card. Once Windows 8.1 is installed, make SURE you install the very latest version of Intel's and ATI's drivers, because anything older than brand new won't do. I just lost three hours of my life to blue screens of death during the upgrade. I am NOT pleased with Microsoft :(
