Without current update still unfinished * * !!

As a buyer of a notebook with preinstalled Win 8.1 I can only guess, first of all (!) To retrieve and install the latest updates for Win 8.1 before (!!!) you win 8.1 with its various apps (* tiles *) to your own needs tunes - and it thus makes sense in the first place be used!
The official name for the latest version of Win 8.1 is apparently * Windows 8.1 Update 1 * in CHIP and PC World can be found online insightful articles at the moment.
Only when you on the home screen * * (of the tiles * *) provides top right a stop button and a magnifying glass for the search function, Win 8.1 is actually up to date. In fact, it would then have to win 8.2 hot.
In this latest version, many functions are integrated, one seeks in vain otherwise than beginners in 8.1 (without update). Not only the shutdown button, an improved ability to quit apps, a lot better sorting of apps, additional system programs etc. etc.
Had I known in advance this update, I would have 50% of the time to save for the establishment of the notebook.
So: First update, then set up!
At the end of the procedure then you have a system that can work much better than the first impression suggested by the many superfluous apps on the start-up screen.
Conclusion: an entire afternoon working plan, then you have made a vernüftiges system!
