Windows 8.1 (codenamed Windows Blue) is an update to Windows 8. It's rumored that the update will be free of charge. Development started in late 2012/early 2013. The kernel version, as seen in leaked builds, has changed to 6.3, proving it is not a major update.

Tami Reller, leader of the Windows Division at Microsoft, announced the release of the Windows 8.1 Developer Preview during the //build conference in June 2013.

Included in this new version of Windows is a MovieMoments app, Alarm app, Calculator app, and a Sound Recorder app, not seen in Windows 8. Other changes include Internet Explorer 11, and the re-addition of the Start Button (not to be confused with the Start Menu). A new "All Apps" button will be included on the start screen, as well as a newer way to "Search" through apps and files. My Computer has been renamed to "This PC"
