The bad news for Windows 8 users. If you don’t update to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you will not get updates. But before you light the torches and get mad at Microsoft, there’s a very good reason for this. Windows 8 is end of life as of tomorrow (scroll down to the bottom of the page and click search to see). So this is no different than Windows 7 requiring you to have a service pack installed to continue support.
My advice: Make sure you have a current backup and update to Windows 8.1…. Or Windows 10. That way you continue to get the latest security updates.
